Re: My 64 copperhead
Welcome....Great looking truck. For those of us doing big block conversions....what frame mods did you do and what headers/exhaust did you run? I see you did some firewall work also.

Re: My 64 copperhead
Firewall doesn't look easy but looking at the truck was well worth it, perfect stance with my favorite engine, a Big block. We may need more pic's though, got us hooked now.

I had one of those L88 hoods. I traded it for a factory 63-66 GMC hood that I liked better on my truck. Like your truck dude.

Re: My 64 copperhead
Why was it necessary to set the firewall back?
Was it clearance issues or were you only trying to improve balance in the truck? I have a big block mocked up on a cab and chassis and it seems to fit fine.. But it is looking a little nose heavy. Any words of advice?
