hey, we've got a 93' GMC jimmy for sale, i dont know if the frame is the same or not, if you wanna check into it and get back to me, let me know. We're only askin $300 - $500 for it, the tranny doenst shift out of 1st when you have it in drive, the interior aint horrible, but it aint the best either, the 4.3L v6 is in pretty good condition, the electric dash don't work that great and has some body damage due to getting t-boned on the passengers side. i dont think the frame is bent at all, except for the door post, but if you only want the fram, that dont matter. If you're serious about getting it, i'll do a more thorugh frame check..... for only a few hundred bucks, you'll get the frame your lookin for, and quite a few extra pieces from the jimmy that you could use at ur leisure.
