Overhaulin 72 SWB episode - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sswitzke · 05-03-2008, 08:49 AM

just got done watching it, Im not in a hurry they can work on mine for 2 weeks.

Premium72 · 05-03-2008, 08:54 AM

was a lwb ...nice work as useual but yeah the two tone..ehh

Riveted1 · 05-03-2008, 09:00 AM

I liked it. I wish they would have put some more power under the hood. That blown engine they joked about would have worked fine.

I also wish they would have shown what they did with the gas filler.

chevychase · 05-03-2008, 09:46 AM

Anybody notice they shaved firewall where the a/c or heater box was? That was unexpected. Most of the parts seemed to come from Classic Industries which I haven't heard much of on this board.

That show is ...... well.......not cool

**Tom Vogel** · 05-03-2008, 02:55 PM

I saw this truck down at Fooses shop one week after its completion. (I goofed on thinking it was a SWB)
Im with you guys on the two tone... however, Ive got to say, This truck was Awesome. Trust Me On This... you would want it.It is unbeleivable what they do in a week.

**steelhorse** · 05-03-2008, 03:08 PM

I think it would be nice if they would show a little more of the tech(like shaving the gas fill/firewall ect).Sometimes they spend to much time on the pranks/family history and not enough on the vehical.

I want to know what they did about the rear end being out of whack an inch and a half. They also did an 8 lug, to 5 lug conversion. What kind of rear end did they put in it? What kind of tranny? They left alot of details out for us viewers...but I guess that's what happens when you have to pack 96 hrs of work into 1 hr of TV.

I do love that hugger orange though! I agree w/ steelhorse, I can do without any of the cheesy pranks, etc. Just show us the build! Chop Cut Rebuild has it down pretty well...I'd like to take that '75 or whatever Brickland around the block.

Yeah, what the heck was up with that??? The guy was like the rear end is out of whack, and I was like wth? Then they pulled the bed off, so I thought they would answer what was wrong, but nope.

Mertz · 05-03-2008, 05:32 PM

The hugger orange doesn't seem right to me. Mine is not as orange. I would have kept the upper trim (Foose doesn't like trim). Mine is a 72 3/4 ton just like this 71. I was really excited to see what Chip would do. I must say I was a little disappointed. Seems like the owner wasn't all that excited either. I wish he would have kept the 8 bolt wheels and made some customs for it. I would love to have a set of 8 bolt ralley wheels. That said, I wouldn't mind if he did that to my truck.

Ole Blue 68 · 05-03-2008, 06:51 PM

Sorry Mertz, 8 lugs just aren't sexy enough for Foose.

As far as who supplied the parts (Classic Industries) or which engine they put in to it, you all gotta remember that they're just promoting their corporate sponsors.

LONGHAIR · 05-03-2008, 06:56 PM

We, as enthusiasts, will always be disappointed by automotive shows, especially the ones that are not on sports-oriented stations....not that those are any better, but at least you should be able to think they would.
If they were too comprehensive, the average viewer would get bored because they don't understand what they are seeing. They are looking for that "final product" and amazed by how far they strip these cars.

**steelhorse** · 05-03-2008, 06:58 PM

I wish someone would promote their buisness with a bunch of parts for me

I agree with you 100 percent on this one, they need to think of more than just the "motor heads", I mean enthusiasts on these shows for ratings

*IN GENERAL* you could almost say that the show caters to the "barret jackson" crowd. The people who don't really care about the build itself, but the finished product. It's "neat" for them to see the abbreviated build, but in the end, all they really care about is the final product.

Those of us who truely care to see just the build itself are few and far between

10-4 on that one- That's why I love my Power Block on Saturday mornings...not to mention Miss Courtney. WHOOO! I was glad to see her step into that show after Overhaulin for sure, she's real easy on the eyes.

x2 !!! I dvr powerblock every saturday and sunday. all of 'em -- Trucks, Hp tv, xtreme 4x4, etc.

They have been throwin in a few old Stacey David episodes lately though. He's a great personable guy, but the new guys, Ryan and Kevin, have had a lot more shows about stuff that people can use

Mertz · 05-03-2008, 10:02 PM

I care more how it is done than the final product. I bought and almost finished 67 Malibu SS and it wasn't really any fun. I sold it to pay for a house with a shop. I rented out the house and used the shop. The projects are all a lot more fun.

The worst show was American Hotrod. I am sorry Boyd died but I didn't like the way he treated people and cars. I miss Stacy David and the original guy on Horsepower.

OrangeCrush1970 · 05-03-2008, 10:06 PM

Oh Man! I had no idea that Boyd Codington died!!!

But I do agree, it wasnt the funnest show to watch...too much drama.

You gotta check out Stacey's show on Speed: Gearz @ 9 am eastern time on Speed. Good stuff on there, he does it like he used to on Trucks.

Everybody likes Stacey David better but me ---- i admit he's got a great tv personality and i have his new show dvr'ed too, but how many episodes do you need on how to install Browning machine guns and Rockwells on a vintage 4-by? Copperhead was cool though

ap2002 · 05-03-2008, 10:19 PM

can anyone post a pic of the this truck? i dont have the speed channel so I miss out on all the good stuff

I looked on the web and couldn't find it.

sleric77 · 05-03-2008, 11:06 PM
