Copperhead is nice but this one got my attention - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CPNEJR · 02-08-2005, 08:31 PM

I'd agree with CPNE.
the problem with copperhead is it has too much

IMO whereas the green truck is nice and simple and if anything needs to be replaced it's easier to by something rather than make it by hand
but thats just my oppinion

69 Short Fleet · 02-08-2005, 09:23 PM

Deuce "How about a farm truck with a 572", lmao. I saw a tri-5 station wagon at Edmonton International raceway (1/4 mile) back @ 1982 that was about 20 different colors and had 4 mismatched wheels, the thing looked like a beater.... everyone laughed at his car until he staged, hammered it and smoked everyone in his class... one of the funniest things I've ever seen. CPNE nice truck, Copperhead is a beauti also... IMO ALL 67-72's rock!!! Doug

toms68cst · 02-08-2005, 09:42 PM

After watching the last Trucks all Copperhead did is smoke it's tires. (And make a 140mph run!) I'd take that GMC farm truck any day but not for $7500.00.

I wonder how much it would take to replicate Copperhead?

**68 Stepside** · 02-08-2005, 09:43 PM

Nice....that truck isn't too far from me either. I'd love to have the grille for my 68 Chev...time to call Boz-All

Dano69c10 · 02-09-2005, 03:14 PM

yeah, give me sponsors and a mongo budget and me or anyone can create a truly "sick" truck. I don't think that a truck's coolness factor should be determined by how much money one can pour into a project. In that case only rich "fufu" boys would have the cool trucks, I personally like to see an average joe restore or rod a truck, by trading, buying original parts, and/or fabbing parts. I also like to see trucks driven everyday, not just trailered. A real truck guy will buy the green farm truck and do the work himself, a "fufu" truck guy would buy the copperhead truck and just drive it until something better came along.
Just my $0.02

Like to see copperhead park his truck in my neighborhood.

Thats not a "real truck" its too nice and has a roll pan. Dont you know that in order for it to be a "real truck" it has to be 100% original, and be beat to crap from hauling extremely heavy loads its entire life. That also doesnt look like the original engine. Shame on you for trying to fool all of us into thinking you had a "real truck". People like us should be shot for ever messing with the holy relic which is a beat up old farm truck.

btw ....... im not serous. Good job.

I see you still don't get the point of this thread. I presume you're fairly intelligent so I'm not sure why.

Maybe it's because you're an

?

Let me reiterate it again

Quote:

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".

It clearly says what I view as my philosophy, nowhere does it put down anyone elses. You're the one who steered the thread in the direction it's taken, so

It's fine we don't agree, but don't make it personal, or take it personal. Show a little maturity.

If you can't, take a number. There is a whole sub-culture of

out there to commiserate with.

I'm going to ask a moderator to close this thread, as it's strayed far from the original point.

I can agree with 70 Shorty, 1 for work and 1 for play because you definitely ain't haulin' nothin in Copperhead.............. (Not intended to be a negative)

68w/sbc406 · 02-09-2005, 01:48 AM

so whats up with the different color door jams, fire wall, and dash? is this another GMC color differance thing like the black glove box door or his way to make it look cool?

i wouldnt say it doesnt haul anything .... it hauls ass pretty well i thought. As for that farm truck ..... i guess you could load up some cow poo or hay if thats your thing but to make the comparison to copperhead is .... well .....

.
IMO one word describes this thread and thats .....

**Palf70Step** · 02-09-2005, 06:42 AM

Nice truck. Me I'll take both. This to work, and tow the bling blinng copperhead

junkyardjohn · 02-09-2005, 07:17 AM

HMMMMMMMM .. LETS SEE HERE.....
A $3500 FARM TRUCK WITH A PAINT JOB MY KID COULDA DONE OR A $35,000.00 , PROFESSIONALLY BUILT SHORT FLEET WITH A 572 CU. IN MOTOR & ALL THE BELLS & WHISTLES. NOT MUCH OF A COMPARISON IF YOU WANT MY OPINION. I COULD BUY A DOZEN OF THOSE FARM TRUCKS FOR WHAT COPPERHEAD IS WORTH. ARE YOU GUYS CRAZY

OR WHAT???

IT LOOKS LIKE THE PAINT JOB WAS 1/2 @SS DONE, & THE WHEELS & HUBCAPS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE PAINTED WITH A BRUSH (NICE RESTORE JOB)

JOHN

Peregrine · 02-09-2005, 09:11 AM

The motors worth 13 grand. So with parts and labor, maybe 30? I personally like a balance between stock and complete nonsense. Be able to work on it without making specialty parts, be able to throw stuff in the bed and be ok with it. (Line-X) I do like the farm truck though, looks more like a sea-foam to me though. :P And yeah, Copperhead would have been a lot nicer if they tubbed it so the thing would hook up.

68C15 · 02-09-2005, 09:13 AM

I just may be a little partial on this one si I dont know if my vote counts. Copperhead in second, original looking farm truck 1st.
how about a medium green long box lowered 6 inches with a injected 472 caddy & some tucked & stuffed fat tires out back. throw in a spray in bed liner & also a hidden class 5 hitch. does this sound cool?

67ChevyRedneck · 02-09-2005, 09:20 AM

I pick "mean farm green" over copperhead. I have a question for you GMC folks though.... is that big thing on the rear of the fender the emblem for GMC's??? It seems kinda big.... anyone have close-ups on it???

GreyHoundSteve · 02-09-2005, 01:05 PM

That black truck is awesome. Is it a board members? Anyone have any details on it?

shortymac83 · 02-09-2005, 01:09 PM

yeah, I'd hit that black one. That is almost exaclty what I'm wanting to do with mine, except in blue, and with a 292...same overall style though

BTW, what's up with the 'chromed" headlights? that's pretty spiffy lookin'

67_C-30 · 02-09-2005, 01:12 PM

The black truck is for sale on Ebay right now. The link is under the pics.

shortymac83 · 02-09-2005, 01:15 PM

yes, yes I know. but I'm in college, and I can't afford it. Otherwise, i would.

Tynee · 02-09-2005, 01:46 PM

Junk Yard, let me clarify myself. When I said ALMOST perfect restoration, what I meant was that there were some obvious flaws, things that you and others have noticed about the green farm truck. I capitalized ALMOST because I knew that someone would come back at my idea of a nice truck with comments like, "THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL AN ALMOST "PERFECTLY RESTORED VEHICAL". Thank you for proving me correct.

Completely off the subject, since we have each other's attention currently, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO YELL ALL THE TIME?

Tynee · 02-09-2005, 01:48 PM

btw, the black truck IS a beautiful automobile, even if you can't call it "perfectly resored" with the color of the tint on the windows and the late model rally wheels.

another bb too. The one thing i noticed about that black truck though is that he bent the panhard bar around the exhaust and it doesnt look like its dropped enough to not be able to route the exhaust around the normal panhard bar unless he bent it to straighten the rear end back out but it seems a funny way to go about doing that on such a heavily invested project.
