Re: '68 COPO Concept - Vulgar Display of Power
It's funny, I've saved every pic of that truck that I can find. The owner is a member here. Those are 17x9.5 and 17x11.

Re: '68 COPO Concept - Vulgar Display of Power
Does he have a thread on it, I'd like to see more of it. It's a nice clean truck.
**EDIT** - Nevermind, I found the owner.

Had 2 check back in and admire the progress, which there has been a boat load. Seeing the inside of the wheels above would be nice.

Re: '68 COPO Concept - Vulgar Display of Power
I guess there was a time when Gear Vendors didn't completely own the add on overdrive market. What a great find. Vintage parts are good parts.

Re: '68 COPO Concept - Vulgar Display of Power
Another thing about that unit that you'll appreciate is that when it is cleaned, sealed back up, all new switches, harness, etc...I will be into it for less that the core charge on a 4L80. Not bad in my opinion!

Finished up all of the metal work on the cab and got it sealed up with epoxy primer.

Re: '68 COPO Concept - Vulgar Display of Power
I got the Lizard Skin Heat and Sound Control sprayed on my cab floor pan. We sprayed it inside and out.

Re: '68 COPO Concept - Vulgar Display of Power
Cab looks great. Do you have any advise on spraying the lizard skin? I have it sitting on the shelf waiting to spray on my cab.

Re: '68 COPO Concept - Vulgar Display of Power
The Lizard Skin sprayed out really easy. I used the gun that comes with the kit. After a little adjustment to get the texture like we wanted, there was nothing to it.

Re: '68 COPO Concept - Vulgar Display of Power
Man that thing looks great! Is that a resto'd air filter housing or aftermarket? Exactly what I'm looking for.

Re: '68 COPO Concept - Vulgar Display of Power
It's an OEM air cleaner that has been repainted.
