Copperhead is nice but this one got my attention
Ladies and gentlemen this is the epitome of what a truck is all about IMO...and it's the right color too
67 GMC 3/4 ton 2wd, 305 V6, 4 speed, medium green, fawn interior, darn close to original, looks to be a Super Custom too. Ebay link - Not mine My knit picks are the seat cover, but hey, OE fawn is not available so I guess you have to compromise, and the front hubcaps look odd. Better pics would have been nice too. Now this one I am jealous about

ALMOST perfectly restored "Green Farm truck" Vs. a truck that has no practicle purpose (no, not even drag racing, can't get it hooked up) other than looking good? No competition in my book, I'm with you CPNE

This wasn't intended to be a Copperhead Vs. the Green Farm Truck thread, but hey, let the bashing begin. It might get interesting.
FYI, Tynee, that's my take on it too.

Copperhead and the old green truck are both OK, but I'd trade both of them for this one. This is one beautiful truck!!

Let me step in before this thread gets out of hand and turns into a pissing match.
Sub-section B: This thread was in no way intended to be a direct comparision of Copperhead Vs. Green Farm Truck. If you re-read my original post, I used Copperhead in the subject line only, no further mention was made and no comparisons were made whatsoever. To be honest, the only reason I used Copperhead in the subject line was to garner attention. How many of you would have read this thread if I had entitled it "Marginally restored over-priced green 67 GMC 3/4 ton on ebay". I simply leveraged Copperhead the same way "Trucks" does, as a way to get attention. You see that is exactly what Copperhead's function is, a showcase for gee-whiz products and technology. It is well executed and does it's job well. But I digress... The intent of my post was to showcase another school of thought that a few of us of us on this board have. That is we look at these trucks and picture what was, not what could be. We aspire to maintain these trucks in their original state, often times for nostalgic or historic purposes. Not because we're unwilling to join the 21st century. I've seen many instances where a vehicle has evoked warm memories of visits to Grampa's farm, or long family vacations in the ole' Chevrolet. There's nothing or about that, no more than there is in the school of thought that dictates, "modify everthing, leave nothing alone". People who consider stock "boring" or "easy" probably don't have enough life experience to appreciate it. Additonally, not everything has it's true worth in $$ spent on it alone. Something to consider. Now to address a few comments directly: Nowhere did I hold the "Green Farm Truck" up as the epitomy of concours restorations. As crazy as it may sound it is my ideal however. If you all want to hold me up for ridicle, so be it. I like the color, I like 67 small windows, I like GMC's, I like longbed 3/4 tons, I like stock, and I like the uniqueness of the drivetrain, and I like the fact that it can still be used as a work truck. As for the price, hell no, I don't think it's worth the buy it now price. As for the door jambs matching the interior color, I've seen that before, but only on 67's for some reason. The truck appears to have a fawn interior. It is my belief that the cab would have been painted in it's finished interior color, then assembled and the exterior color painted on the panels. I could be wrong but that is my impression. Again, the pics aren't the best and it could have a paint brush paint job for all I know. Copperhead, though not the real subject of this post, needs to be addressed because of the direction my post has taken. It is a well-executed vehicle whose purpose is to showcase new products and their application as well as to promote the show "Trucks". It does it's job well as I've mentioned. It is not a practical truck IMO. That's not to say I don't like it, but it is so far removed from my ideal that I really don't pay it much attention. I also believe that not everything needs to be practical so it definately has it's place. As for the comment. That simply re-enforces my initial impression of said individual based upon one of his first posts on the board. That topic has been well covered, so no need to rehash it here. Suffice to say, given my lack of respect based upon comments made in that post, this comment was laughable and expected. You may proceed to bash...

Medium green and light blue are the best GM colors of all time. That is one nice truck.

I like both. I can say this, it is a helluva lot harder to keep something original than it does to modify it.
I would like to find a creampuff 73-80 similar to the truck just posted...someday.

Thats a nice farm truck, I dont know about the $7500 "buy me now" price, not what I would spend that amount of cash on. I dont like the color at all, but its a very clean.
This is something that will be nice at the county fair not a big car meet. IMO Copperhead is nice, BUT I would have enjoyed it more if it was built by a regular Joe, not some show with $$$$. I see a lot of nicer rides on this board just because I can appriciate the hard work and love that goes into them. Maybe the same amount of love is in the green truck. So my vote is for the green truck (not because its better). Odd swing of a vote from me, because I love cutting up metal.

That green truck looks sweet! There's another 3/4 ton in the background, you can see the rim on it in one of the pics.

Medium green is one of the best colors that GM has ever come out with. Anyone who has actually seen it in real life would agree. You can't tell the real color of the truck from the pic.

That is nice, but you are slipping Jeff! Tailgate looks like a 69-72 with the 'big' GMC logo. Or am I nuts? For the record, I like it better than Copperhead too...but there isn't much to compare.
