Slick Copper's Build Thread
Ok so some of you may have seen my other thread "I married the most amazing woman", and I said I was going to start a build thread so here goes.
Here's my truck: It's a 67 LWB 2wd Custom optioned truck with the optional panoramic cab. BTW if anyone's found out the production number of the "big window" 67's let me know. Has the original 250 straight six. Automatic truck with a th350 tranny. THE PLAN: Well....as for now I just want to get it running again!! Had some fuel and ignition problems, still trying to sort them out actually. But waiting to get a new battery currently ($$). Long Term: Complete Cab off restoration, rebuild the original 250 with a lot more ponies (I'm guessing torque will come naturally as these engines were designed). 4 Barrel Edelbrock, Offy intake, ceramic coated header (anyone know whos got 'em?), port & polished head with roller rockers. Repaint motor the original alpine green with plenty of the shiny stuff! New TH350 from Summit to handle the rebuilt motor. Sorry I'm goin on so much, so many ideas...as far as the look, probably minor drop (like 2"), original look with all the chrome trim, paint will be a little brighter than original more of a coppery orange color (hince the name "slick copper") w/white top. Also anyone know if my truck is painted as original? I've seen some have the A pillars painted white also. What is correct? Rally wheels painted white with chrome rings and centers Updated lighting Euro headlamps, LED's on the tail/brake lights. Interior: painted copper with gray seat, carpet, dash pad, doorpanels etc. custom gauges of some sort. OK, OK. Now I want your opinions and ideas! Let me know what you think! Any questions just ask!
