Who's truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**N2TRUX** · 11-11-2003, 12:50 AM

rolf said this was a forum member's truck. I was wondering who's it is? I would like to ask a few questions about the engine set-up...

SWEET7T · 11-11-2003, 03:01 AM

I would like to know who makes the wheels!!!

That looks an awful lot like the new project truck in Truck Builder Magazine. '67 short fleet, with a supercharged 6.0L LS1 under the hood. They used Goodmark body panels all over it, and it is six-lug in the magazine. The hood hinges are the same too. It's gotta be the same truck. I'd like to know more too!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-11-2003, 09:28 AM

Bad a$$ truck ....Look at those hood hinge's killer! BTW the wheel's look like billet specialties...

**N2TRUX** · 11-11-2003, 10:35 AM

I looked at Truck Builder's website and couldn't find any info on the project, but it appears that is the correct answer.

Here's what I do know. The wheels appear to be Billet Specialties "Hustler 6". They look like 20's, but I would like to know for sure. (pic 1)

The blower is a Magna Charger "Radix" MP112 for the 5.3-6.0 motor. It has a rear inlet, and a built in intercooler on this version. (pic 2)

The hood hinges are from Sachse Rod shop. They from their "Bilt-Rite" series of hinges. (pic 3)

That truck was at the SEMA show in the Goodmark booth.

**N2TRUX** · 11-11-2003, 12:44 PM

Yeah, that's where the pic was taken. I want to know more about the truck itself though...

Those wheels are what I'd like. Those, or the Colorado Custom Whiskeys

I had thought in the beginning they were Colorado Custom wheels, but could not find them on their site. I looked at Billet Specialties site and found what looked like them.

After you mentioned it, I looked closer, and realized the Billet Specialties weren't a perfect match, and you may be right. Here's what I have come up with.

This is a Colorado Custom "Whiskey"....

While it's close, it's not a match.
Then I remembered what it was. It's a Colorado Custom "Slater 6"-

They may loook a "little" different since what they have is the "soft lip" version. Sorry for the pic quality, it was the best I could do on short notice....

paintpyro · 11-11-2003, 03:24 PM

You may be right there N2TRUX. I knew they werent the Whiskey, but forgot about the Slater. That was my choice before the Whiskey came out.

cdowns · 11-11-2003, 03:47 PM

hmmm, anybody know what flavor that soda is b-hind the front wheel????

Mixup · 11-11-2003, 04:27 PM

I talked to one of the guys at the booth and he didn't know anything about the truck.

brad2 · 11-11-2003, 04:32 PM

Here is the engine. Look it also has a Scotts Hotrods front suspension.

That's interesting that they used a Scotts under it. We contacted them about one for my Blazer, and they said they did not make one for it. If they did build one it would be $$$$$. I think we are going with a Progressive instead.

That's common on a project vehicle like this. The entire truck will be blown apart once finished, and everything painted then...
