The GMC Jimmy 2-door SUV returns thanks to intrepid Arkansas company

Jonesboro, Arkansas, custom car shop Flat Out Autos is creating a GMC Jimmy-inspired truck built on a GMC Sierra pickup platform converted into a two-door SUV.

The name came from slang for GMC, similar to how Jeep was derived from the original World War 2 GP, or "general purpose" truck.

The full-size Jimmy was replaced by the Yukon in the 1990s and the two-door version soon went extinct along with those of the Blazer and Bronco as four-door SUVs took over the market.
