one thing that bothered me though was the gap between the hood and fender, anyone notice that??

I noticed the horrible gap, do you recall when he said how much time he took on detail?
I guess he should have spent another year, or took the cowel hood back and kept a stock hood.
I had the same problem on my 67, and opted for a stock one because the gap was soooo unacceptable. I do like the stance/wheel/tire combo and the colour though, everything else was really nice.

Deuce · 02-06-2005, 07:15 PM

How can anybody NOT like that truck?? Thats like telling your wife your baby's ugly.

1968GMC · 02-06-2005, 09:09 PM

what happens to that truck or all the trucks he builds? Are they sold? Go to a museum? Where does it go?

4. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE VEHICLES ON THE SHOW?: Some I own, some others own, some have been sold. Stay tuned. There is an upcoming episode titled "Where are they now" which is totally dedicated to answering this question in more detail.

did'nt he chalenge Jay Leno and his 572 powered 55 buick?

mac · 02-06-2005, 10:07 PM

I taped the show and watched it 3 times ! I think the hood gap is actually optical illusion. The paint reflection is pretty high and each time I got a look at the gap it was a panning shot that flared or seemed to magnify with the reflection. I can't fathom a truck being built for TV and the gaps wouldn't get done right. Especially when it went to the SEMA Show and got looked at HARD. I would commit crimes to own that truck and then "I'd drive it like I stole it".......Same way I drive my '67 now but I can't get 300 ft of rubber with a ZZ4.

**Richard** · 02-06-2005, 10:24 PM

Hater... Whatever

If I see another set of AR wheels on an older vehicle

"the wheels are era specific" gimme a break

I could go on about all the things I dont like about the truck. But who cares in the end? All the resources and money available and that is all that there is? Dump a load of HP in any truck and you will get a burnout queen. Actually dropping it more in the back would have helped hookup. I guess some people like the stink bug look. The truck is OK as are all the build ups on that show. I would have done a lot of things different as I am with my truck.
I would be happy to post pics of my truck, at this time it still looks like a beater. My resouces and funds are limited. So I save and do things as I can. I never skimp on quality or what I need or planned for. That is why the project takes time. Have a 4L80E being built this month. My truck will stay in pretty much the same running condition until I have most every piece to take it down and up in two months time. I am about half way there. Hope your project goes the way you want and you are happy with it. Good luck.

"Same way I drive my '67 now but I can't get 300 ft of rubber with a ZZ4" So your truck actually hooks up

67ChevyC10Stepside · 02-06-2005, 11:39 PM

when the truck was at sema the hood was up...noone would have noticed it...

Nelson · 02-07-2005, 12:26 AM

I've been waiting patiently for that epiosode for about a year or more...Putting up with repeats on top of more repeats, it just kept dragging along. But I wasn't dissappointed in the least! I love it! Wow 300' burnout and open headers with a flick of switch! Thats cool!

ITs a nice truck and the engine is strong enough on it s own. maybe the NOS
is just There for SH*ts and gigles, or maybe just on the track when he finally
takes it there. most of us could only dram of driving a machine like that. But when a nice vehicle comes along there are always people who will nit pick the smallest detail so they can hide their own jealousy about how it looks or performs......... just my 2 cents

I AGREE ABOUT A SCRILLION % DEAN. SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST

I like how he said that "we all could have a truck like that"...haha that a good one... yea we could have a truck like that and then we would go bankrupt and then loose the truck...mmmmmm.. it sure would be fun untill i got taken away....

70 shorty · 02-07-2005, 02:11 PM

Ok, I too have put up with all the damn repeats and waiting for the episode where it was finally finished. I love that truck. Of course I was out of town this wknd and had no idea that was the episode they were airing, so I missed it dammit! Anyone have a copy they want ot send my way? I'd love to put it on my tape I made the other week when Overhaulin did a 2nd Gen Camaro (see my signature).

kwhite4 · 02-07-2005, 03:38 PM

250 miles and at least 2 fillups boy I thought mine sucked gas.
Loved it hope they do futher testing

djracer · 02-07-2005, 11:03 PM

I'd like to challenge stacy to a drag race with my version of copperhead!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took my truck to the body shop today and I might paint it that color! If I do I'll add more to it later but I wonder what he think of me challenging him to a drag race with a little ole 468!

Purs · 02-07-2005, 11:20 PM

Dang dj, you gonna make more than 620HP without NOS?

djracer · 02-07-2005, 11:44 PM

Yes sir I plan on adding nos later but I'll be disappointed if it doesn't make close to 700hp. I had the same motor injected on alcohol in my camaro and it went 5.90 eighth mile and 9.20 in the quarter! The truck will weigh more so it might need a little spray!
