Yes! You win!
Jimmy was $200.00, and probably $100.00 too much...., but the truck is full of some good junk. 
I will start stripping and bending up the cage this week.
Hmmm.....4.3 = 5.7 without too much work here....rut-ro
I like where this is going. . .
Even better is 5.7L carbed. TH700R4 with AWD Astro transfer case. A set of 3:73:1 carriers. 8 boom holes out the fenders ;) Maybe dressed as the Enola Gay? You know, dropping bombs like Hiroshima!
Too bad you are in Geor-juh I have a set of 275/40r17s that would fit the bill on that brute just waiting for the right wheels ;)

Years ago, Rhys Millen was racing an Explorer at Pikes Peak, and there was some sort of ban on rear wings (don't recall the exact details). In order to skirt the rules, his team used the open rear glass hatch (in a fixed position) as a giant wing. Ingenious. You could do the same with the Jimmy!

I thought he showed up without a wing and found it to be an ill-handling POS. So they undid the lower and side screws to the lexan rear hatch "glass" and proped it up with some broomsticks to make a illegal legal wing/spoiler.
Isn't the Olds Bravada an AWD via NP-136 transfer case? Bolt in?

God bless Butch King! The truck wrecked at Okemo a few years back:

Wonder if he got it going again?
Holy CRAP, it was fast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq3hqtfIUEA&feature=related
I saw it in 2010...
Wonder what that transmission was. Very whiny for a regular one. Straight cut gears?

Haven't found any updates online since this happened.
