The Return of Copperhead - LEGENDARY CHEVY C10 TRUCK BUILD - Stacey David's Gearz S13 E10
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- There’s nothing like a good mystery. One of our favorite Gearz mysteries is the whereabouts of Copperhead, the legendary C10 that Stacey built more than a decade ago. It seemed like the truck just disappeared. Well, it’s back! And Stacey was reunited with it at the C10 Nationals in Ft. Worth, TX. Tag along as Stacey gets a chance to get behind the wheel again and boil some tires. Back in the garage, Stacey tackles a fuel injection install on a Jeep Scrambler, then checks out the new Core Doors from Bestop. There’s a lot going on and plenty of smoke on the Texas Motor Speedway on this episode of Gearz.
I grew up watching Copperhead being built. It definitely held up well over the years.
I agree. After starting to put together cars over the years I am realizing Copperhead was really well built as opposed to a lot of the stuff I see now.
Me too!
I think I was 12yrs old or 13yrs old When first sentence this project come to life, on trucks. Man I was he was back with powernation. He help me understand patience, budget, and time
Everyone who saw copperhead built fell in love with the color😊.
I my self painted my putt putt Suzuki sidekick this color!
Same. Miss Stacey and his rides every Saturday morning.
I miss when the power block was a weekend morning ritual!
Hell yeah i was in high school man. Lol
Power nation has a UA-cam channel and the full build of copperhead is on there...crazy horse too. It's not the same of course, and I'm sure there are some things missing. But its still cool to watch the old classic builds
@@a1duzit shit I was in elementary school
Ditto
Fuck man its sucks for the new generation of kids, i never watched saturday. Artoon it was always about cars
Man i remember as a kid getting up early Saturday morning just to watch power block loved it i watched every episode of copper head being built stacey david your a legend in my book
Copperhead build series brings back a lot of memories.
I remember years back watching Stacey build copperhead and all the other vehicles. Great memories!
I watched trucks the other day and I left a comment saying "no stacey no watchey" and everyone raged it was a good time
one of mine and my fathers favorite thing to do was to watch trucks and extreme 4x4 (rip jessi) on the weekend and i remember watching copperhead being built make me think of simpular times and it nice to see it still alive and still has beautiful as ever
Me and my grandpa watched this truck being built, he passed away about a year after the build was complete. Grandpa would be happy to see it’s still being driven and in good shape and in good hands
I just want to thank you Stacey. Most gearheads can trace their love of cars back to one event or one vehicle. Some grew up around them. I didnt. My parents were not car people but as a 10 year old boy I'd sit in front of the TV every Saturday not to watch cartoons but to watch Powerblock and Trucks was my favorite. In particular Project Copperhead was one of the vehicles that shaped this young gearhead's life. Now almost everything I do revolves around cars or racing in some form or fashion. I'm glad you found this iconic truck from my childhood.
I remember watching every episode multiple times of copperhead being built. Probably one reason I love c10's today
Stacy David you’re the MAN!
Used to be at the TV waiting for this show to come on deff legendary show
That truck brings back Saturday morning tv time watching power block.
Copper head was one of my favourites
Watching the copperhead builds a kid is what inspired me to buy and build a C10 as my first truck in high school back in 2012
I am so glad that I just found this channel. I used to love watching Stacy David on “Trucks” as part of the Saturday and Sunday morning Powerblock vehicle build related television shows. When Stacy David was on “Trucks” and the one show dedicated to off road vehicles were my 2 favorite shows of the 4 or 5 shows that were a part of the Powerblock series of shows. I then discovered Stacy David’s “Gearz” show and used to watch it too but then don’t know whatever happened to it until now. Needless to say, now that I have discovered the UA-cam channel, I will be watching the videos on here frequently, on a regular basis. Also, if I were to ever want someone or were to ask someone to build a truck for me, Stacy would be at the very top of my list of people who I would ask and pay whatever his asking price was.
This truck was my childhood favorite truck so glad its still around
I remember watching this and it just kept getting more and more over the top. Definitely a cool build.
O man this brings back memories... I watched this on spike TV I grew up with Stacey building stuff great show great trucks
I remember watching Copperhead being built and finally getting to see that pay off episode! OMG Stacey is awesome!! That truck is awesome!!
Project Copperhead probably is what turned me into a gear head to this day. I remember watching the build up and payoff episodes when I was probably 16-17 years old. Such a cool truck.
I was already grown watching copper head being built. Just i was twenty years younger than i am now.
Just want to start out by saying thank you,I grew up watching you build cars most kids it was cartoon for me it was power block. Everything I know about turning wrenches I have learned from watching you guys.
Onto project cooperhead I'm currently trying to build an 82 C10 Silverado for my oldest son as a graduation gift this year but with buying a new home and now a newer car this project keeps getting pushed back.
The truck was a 1 owner all orginal farm truck. The previous owner was side swiped by a semi truck driver that fell asleep at wheel.Also the previous owner son jack knifed a trailer and pushed the bumper into the bed.
So the whole driver side needs to redone and interior reassembled so we have a long road ahead. The plan was a father son project but with my son having hypothyroidism it's hard for him to help.
So thank you again for helping shape me into gear head I am today.
What a satisfying tribute, Stace. I had wondered what became of copperhead for many years, after watching the original build on Trucks in the early-mid 2000s, as a youngster. Powerblock on TNN was a weekend morning well spent, thank you for the fond memories; from Toronto, Canada.
The UA-cam algorithm working its magic. I grew up watching his builds every weekend with my dad. Definitely brings back good memories. I’m glad he’s still wrenching he always had awesome builds
What a blast from the past! I skipped Saturday morning cartoons to watch this truck come to life, and it's back! This truck, the crazy horse bronco, and Stacy are the reasons why I got into cars and trucks.
Stacey David I like your work I grew up watching u on TV u does great work I learned a lot to build truck
I appreciate that!
My dad and I watched the build of Copperhead and decided to paint our ‘67 Camaro project the same color! Still love it to this day
Glad to see the old beast (Copperhead) is still kickin!!!!! I liked your little riff on the Copperhead guitar too. R.I.P. Eddie VanHalen.
Copperhead was one of those builds that sticks in everyone’s memory. It was such a beautiful and badass truck. I’m glad to see it didn’t turn into a trailer queen and is properly used while still being well cared for. Man I drooled over that 572 crate motor. What a beast!
Wow Stacey can't believe you sold her. Forever my favorite truck. A legend itself.
IIRC he sold it for 67,000 and the proceeds went to wounded warriors.
I was maybe 13 when I watched this! and loved the truck so much! Its so nostalgic just watching this! Great to see Stacey again talking about it!
I can’t remember most of my life but I remember watching this truck being built. Probably set me down the road I’m on today ,,,,thanks Stacey.
I also remember watching Copperhead being built back in day. Cool to see that it was ultimately used as it should have been. 😎
My favorite build of any vehicle I’ve watched be built on tv. I remember this truck being started why back on the Trucks show
One of my best memories watching Copper Head being built . Thanks for the update.
Very cool Stacy!! Love listening to your podcast while I’m welding at work!! I’ve listened to all of them,always looking for the next one!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I remember this build (and Wicked Willy's). Both were fun to watch and to follow the progress every week. Those were the days!
I remember watching Copperhead get built like it was yesterday! Wow, where has the time gone? Kudos to Dale Mykyte for keeping Copperhead just as nice as the day it was built!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
I remember watching this truck being built.
The original copper head build is still one of my favorite builds ever, I was in college for auto tech and remember watching this build multiple times. Stacey is the man, he had the best of all the shows on power block TV(I think).
I literally drooled over this truck being built on tv. I pray one day I will be able to have a C10 of that caliber one day.
Nice to see Copperhead is still around, still lookin like the day it was finished with the build...damn good to see it didn't get stripped or torn down...love that truck!
Grew up watching trucks.. I remember this beauty being built
Wow Stacey, Good to see you back old friend. 👊🏼
Man I remember growing up watching him do this build and other and I was glued,good times.
This is the truck that made me want a C10. Thank you Stacey for building it and then making this video showing it off again.
grew up with my grandpa watching copper head being built..
well rip grandpa for 9 years now and hello good memories
I remember watching the build back in the day. I didn't realize Stacy has his own channel! He was always my favourite on the Spike tv Power Block.
I'm glad you found the channel!
I was living in Houston 2011-2014, and I actually stumbled across Copperhead when i was at the owner's house, visiting one of his sons. I was kind of shocked when I saw it in the garage!
Makes me emotional just seeing copper head again, grew up watching he as she progressed, definitely a Defining moment for my childhood
I remember watching this truck being built as a kid. It is the truck that sparked the love of trucks for me. Glad to see it's still out there.
so ive watched trucks! since almost the beginning as a young child watching this show very passionately following copperhead,crazy horse and the hairy hauler to name a few my love for this show got to the point id stay as many weekends as i could at my grandmothers just to watch this show and all the others on "the power block" because she had cable tv haha ive watched so long the channel this show was aired on was changed 2 times started as TNN then changed to "the new"TNN then changed to spike tv after stacey left trucks and started gears i wasent able to keep up unfortunatly the speedvision channel was an extra cost on satilite tv but in closing thank you stacey you for the many years of knowledge and builds it makes me happy to see copperhead still being loved as he should hopefully one day ill get to meet you stacey and or one of the original builds you did during my childhood
I got a old clip from TNN of a 69 SuperBee and a few clips from MuscleCar TV too! In the Cars playlist bro!
That truck and project crazy horse are the 2 builds that turned me into a gear head.
I worked on a dirt track car for 2 years, then went to tech school for my basics, then went to a shop and worked for 8 years turning wrenches. Now I'm a manager at a dealership.
I just bought my first home and looking to build a garage soon and start building hot rods and custom cars.
My friends and I would watch these shows every weekend and then get together at school on Monday and talk about the car shows we had seen. They were some of my favorite years. Thank you Stacey for doing what you do and fueling a passion that has turned into a career!
I loved Copperhead, partially because my first high school project was a med. green poly 70 C/10 with the wood bed that I built a warmed up 400 small block 35 years ago... still in the family today. Building up a 69 GMC C/20 Longhorn now
Good to see the owner of Copperhead drives that truck but takes really good care of it too more than a decade after buying it.
Stacey is the best at this kinda show!
I love that you chose the first edition of that hood Thanks👍👍
I saw Stacey and Copperhead at the All Truck Nationals in Carlisle, PC - just didn't realize that it had been that long ago. Good to see both again.
One of the few of my favorite trucks!! Still remember the show on it!!! Especially that burnout!! 👍👍
I'll never forget Saturday mornings, watching the power block. That truck was iconic..
I remember being a kid watching this build was one of my favorite builds of all time
Being reunited with your old project has to be a great feeling. Like a moving photo.
I have a ‘74 F-100 project, it’s almost complete after 35 years (long story), but I can’t say how much Powerblock and guys like Stacey kept me motivated, we need these shows to come back !
Thank you! Gearz season 17 starts in April!
You did the episode showing projects getting scrapped I always assumed a work of art was destroyed so its awesome to see it was just hanging out somewhere
I was in Jr high when I was introduced to Copperhead. Spike tv was TNN then, and I watched every episode. I almost feel like I’m reliving my childhood. Lol
I'm glad you found this truck.
My favorite color on a vehicle. I love that metallic orange!
I've commented on this truck before. I built a 67 just like this one back in the early eighties. It had a 427 big block with all the goodies. And oddly enough I painted it almost the exact same color as Copperhead. The name of the color I used was bittersweet orange. Only difference was I had a 6 inch stripe going across the top of the cab from side to side on the back corner and above the back window. It went down the doors at the same angle as the front post and down to the rocker panels. The stripe was a lighter brown color that contrasted the bronze color of the truck. And it had a darker pinstripe on the outer edges of the stripe. When I found out Copperhead had been sold, it brought back my feelings that I had when I sold mine. Regrets!!! I still wish I had kept it!!!
This truck, and Stacey, were an extremely influential part of my younger years, and part of the reason I took on cars/motorsports as the #1 hobby, I loved seeing this episode when it aired, and now again as well....still gives me goosebumps every time.
I was scrolling and seen copper head and all these memories of trucks came rushing through my mind .... so excited right now I grew up on this.
I remember watching this full build every weekend. Glad to see an update on it. Still one of the best c10 trucks ever built
Thank you for doing an update on this truck! I too grew up watching you build it and I am glad to know that it's still on the road and still driven daily!
I loved watching you build Copperhead, that was awesome!!!!
Thank you!
I remember this as to be one of the first vehicles with the 572 in it. It will always be one bad ass c10.
The first.
Nice to see ol' Copperhead ended up in a family who owns equipment and understands the importance of maintaining it.
Seems like just yesterday I love that truck 😁
One of my all time fave builds. 🙂👍
I remember the Copperhead build and have thought of it from time to time. Interesting to find out I definitely am not the only one and crazy that I just happened to find it again here.
I remember waking up in the morning excited to watch with my dad the build of copperhead! Thanks for the memories 👍🏽
My favorite truck build of all time . Always loved the color. And I’m a ford guy that’s saying something
I remember going up watching powerblock tv and my favorite show was Stacy's show. I watch project copperhead start to finish. Now I'm 35 and have three kids and my wife is also a hotrod women. Well it was her idea last year to look into getting a c10. The first thing I thought of was Copperhead. We now own a project c10. It's a 78 but I have to thank my wife for the idea and we have a family project which is something I always dreamed....Thanks Stacy and now I'm subscribed to your channel and I'm watching stunt double to get ideas.
Awesome!
I love this truck....I really enjoyed watching Stacy build it
Me and my dad watched this truck being built when I was 14 or 15 years old, which inspired us to build a 1972 when I was 16 years old and drove it to high school... ours only had a 327 in it though lol
I remember watching this back in the day. I always wondered where this guy went. Now UA-cam is letting me know.
great to see this old school style content
I also watched the build! Loved seeing it.
Nice seeing him again I Watch his show every Sunday when I was younger
I would wait all week to catch the next episode, I watched the full build of crazy horse the copper head. Growing up watching trucks and horse power TV on the Nashville network before the power block was even around.
Copperhead was 15 years ago!? Wow, time flies!
Have watched Stacey for long time now, definitely one of the top builders.
Worked my whole life and will never own a truck like Copperhead I saw this truck built from day one and the reveal was awesome black marks and all
Copperhead was my fav project.
It's great to see ya again, hope all is well,Copperhead was a great build like so many others ,great video,take care brother.
To me this is an Iconic build ,refer seeing it on TV and seeing every one and their brother try to copy it .I feel like it really kicked the c10 truck craze off !in my opinion Stacy is right up there with all the legendary hot rod builders low key building some of the coolest stuff around
I remember watching the copper head build when I was young.. power block back then really pushed me to be so into cars
Man I loved watching copperhead get built. The electric overdrive was so trick in its day
This took me back to Sunday mornings when I was in high school. Awesome!
Great to see Copperhead is still intact. However over $3000 of injection kit and the Msd catalog to convert a Jeep to fuel injection is crazy.
Especially if you're not going too at least overhaul the Engine.
Wow! Would've never imagined seeing this truck or SD again for that matter! Glad I found your program
😯...love this truck, wondered where it went😎
