Here's the scoop, see...... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Corts60** · 09-03-2009, 09:25 PM

Literally. I finally stopped screwing around with my project camper long enough to get my new scoop on the Jimmy. You'll also notice the OG badges are back on.

I just fell in love with my truck all over again!

Not like it needs to be said but, let me know what you guys think....

And one with the camper!

joe231 · 09-03-2009, 09:31 PM

I hate it completely!!!!

not really....Looks super-duper SWEET!

protrash64 · 09-03-2009, 09:33 PM

Looks like it belongs there!.....thats weird how that worked out

..

jbgroby · 09-03-2009, 09:35 PM

Damn your ride looks good!

shrunken66stroker · 09-03-2009, 10:07 PM

The scoop looks factory. Nice work. I like the emblems on there too. Nice set up.

jonzcustomshop · 09-03-2009, 10:12 PM

100%!
awesome!

71swb4x4 · 09-03-2009, 10:20 PM

It does look like it belongs there. I like it!
If there was a way you could replace the insert with more of a square pattern like the hood has it would look even better.

I was thinking that too! I do have a beat up '6o hood with the square pattern....hmmmm......

Thanks everybody for the comments!

MXmaniac · 09-03-2009, 10:49 PM

Perfect. 'nuff said.

justcuz · 09-03-2009, 10:52 PM

Looks good. When I was out in the desert this last weekend I saw one on a cab over Ford that was installed backwards and chromed. Must have been to let the hot air out of the engine compartment to defrost the windshield on those cold desert mornings! I had not seen a Ford cabover like that one in many years, I forgot they even built them. Usually we all remember the flat front Ford tilt cabs. This was a true cab over with the short nose and seperate hood. I wish I had my camera with me!

markeb01 · 09-03-2009, 11:15 PM

In general I love hood scoops. It fits, and works - and I agree if you could come up with a similar mesh it would tie it in even better.

brawley · 09-03-2009, 11:22 PM

SWEET !! you should paint the camper to match

62 short step · 09-03-2009, 11:31 PM

I love that truck!

Demmit_Hemmit's 65 · 09-04-2009, 12:11 AM

Man, that scoop looks like it belongs there.....................perfect fit with the lines of the hood................great idea....great lookin truck too..........hemmit

**Captainfab** · 09-04-2009, 01:22 AM

I agree, it looks like it belongs there. Great looking truck......and camper too!

4dranch · 09-04-2009, 07:55 AM

Cort,
As always very classy work...

I found this picture and thought of you and the camper.
Thanks for sharing.

jason65 · 09-04-2009, 08:01 AM

Looks real good Cort.

Thanks Dave. I am mulling over the idea of painting the camper to match, but it will have to wait because the Nova has dibbs on the painting money (whenever it may come)

I would LOVE to have that Suburban!

Bears63 · 09-04-2009, 09:40 AM

At first, I was getting ready to cringe. I'm not a fan of hood scoops, I usually cuss about seeing them... However...... I am really amazed at how well done yours is. You did a great job. It blends right into the truck to the point of barely being noticeable and it looks very much like it was supposed to be there in the first place. I actually like it!

Thanks hemmit. And you can thank JUSTCUZ for the idea. I probably would have never known about these scoops....

MacAttack · 09-04-2009, 10:58 AM

It's perfect.

**Corts60** · 09-04-2009, 10:46 PM

Well, I think tomorrow I will start fabricating the air filter assembly that will bolt to the carbs and have a seal to the hood so the scoop will be functional.

Hopefully it will be fairly simple........

Question. How exactly do functional scoops work on other cars, IE: Firebirds, so that when it rains, no water gets in? Does anyone have a close up picture of a set-up?

Strodder · 09-04-2009, 11:02 PM

Looks good. It fits in with that hood. Wouldn't look good on a 65 though.

Sort of needs to grown on you... either square pattern from the hood or scoop pattern on the hood? Maybe the all white makes it stand out a bit more than some like? Any shots of the fab, install, and under the hood. If it's going to be fuctional - show us the money.... Really dig the era trailer and / or boats. Maybe a CrisCraft with matching details.

Beauty truck!
