SloMotion Build - Winter Project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**slomotion** · 02-17-2007, 03:27 PM

Here's a couple of pics of my winter project. It all started because of an ebay air gauge in a factory cluster w/tach. The cluster made the dash look bad, a redone dash made the interior look bad, a new interior made......well, you know how it goes. Obviously it's still a work in progress, but it helps when you can see the "light at the end of the tunnel" (I hope it's not the train!)

PanelDeland · 02-17-2007, 03:34 PM

slo,I likey.What intake is that?I plan on keeping the 250-6 in mine and really like the way that looks.Also what carb and headers?Did you do anything internal to the engine/
BTW love the color and the fact that it's a flatbed.

**Boog** · 02-17-2007, 03:39 PM

Just a winter project huh? You've done all this so far this winter? Son, you have entirely too much time on your hands.
I have no need whatsoever for a flatbed but I'd like to have one. Somewhat like yours...

How bout that pic on the wall in front of the bed in the first pic?

Thanks, Rick

Primer69er · 02-17-2007, 05:17 PM

wow, you've almost made me want to keep my i6. very sweet looking truck!

GREASEMONKEY72 · 02-17-2007, 07:21 PM

nice truck you got there, i love the color and the i6, its nice to see the i6s still goin strong

ratrod67 · 02-17-2007, 07:33 PM

Very nice! That truck is going to be a knockout!!

chevybill · 02-17-2007, 07:49 PM

Is that a 250 or 292? I noticed your tag, are you a Hee Haw fan or a fan of the band BR 549?

**slomotion** · 02-17-2007, 09:10 PM

Thanks for the encouragement!

The intake is Offenhauser with a 190 Holley carb. The headers are the late version of Tom Langdons units. To make this work the intake has to be modified just a little, but no big deal. The inside is a bone stock 292HD

The picture is of a very proper Brit groom and his best man playing cards while the bride repairs the vintage Rolls. I asked my wife why she couldn't do that and she said 1. "We don't have a Rolls", and 2. "My legs aren't long enough."

I've had the BR 549 plate for years. It started out on a '33 Ford pu, went to a '48 Ford coup, then a 68 short fleet, now the Dually. It's a Hee Haw thing, although I do have a tape of the group too.

Nice truck. From the looks of the trophys it isn't your first project.....

Rokcrln · 02-17-2007, 10:37 PM

That is going to be a very sharp truck. Love the color.

I hope when you get it finished you will do a photo shoot that will do that truck justus. That is a lot of work and one slick piece.

Bob Moore · 02-18-2007, 04:08 AM

Very nice 68. Beautiful flatbed. Excellent overall project.

Gray Ghost · 02-18-2007, 09:17 AM

Very cool truck! I like what you have done with the flatbed and the motor looks great. Looks like you have a winner in the making!

**Yukon Jack** · 02-18-2007, 10:49 AM

That's very impressive - really diggin the motor!

*screamin_eagle* · 02-18-2007, 10:55 AM

kick ass

**clay68c10** · 02-18-2007, 10:59 AM

That just plain kicks ass. I like the fact it's not v8, short fleet, or 1/2 ton and you took the time to make it really nice.

bcanini · 02-18-2007, 11:25 AM

Great Truck!!!

I'm really starting to like the look of those I-6's clean clean clean.

Brian

**slomotion** · 02-18-2007, 03:56 PM

Here's a couple more pics of the work in progress. The air gauge on the inside bottom right of the cluster started the whole thing. (The rear of the truck is bagged.)
The trans is a WC T5.
Unfortunately, two cows had to give up their hides for the interior.
The fence corner hooks are nickel plated.

I'll put up some more pics in a couple of weeks after I've made some progress

Thanx

project1971 · 02-18-2007, 04:34 PM

NICE! Really like that Interior!

**Palf70Step** · 02-18-2007, 06:29 PM

That is some really nice work. We can grow more cows

Wood work looks outstanding too!

GREASEMONKEY72 · 02-19-2007, 06:19 AM

damn, looks just as good on the inside to, that is one beautiful truck youve got, love that color what is it exactly?

**Palf70Step** · 02-19-2007, 10:25 AM
