Where did you get the pulley system for the motor?

Could this be "Special-K" putting a floor in?

I don't think there's a difference- just two different year ranges ('67-'68 and '69-'72)

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

What would you say the difficulty level is for just the floor?

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

On the Jim Jaros difficulty scale for metal work he gave it a 5 out of 10

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

today jim buttoned up the firewall and did some measuring and marking for the footwell patches. He then hung a set of doors to check final fitment so he can start welding up the floor and firewall. Then the rockers will come off to do the "A" and "B" pillar

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Looking nice..... I have to grab a few small patches from you guys this week.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Sweet floor installation..

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

very nice plan and a good deed for your friend.....

Do you stock those floors? I am tempted to go that route instead of my 50 patch panels.... I am close enough to pick it up from your shop...Can you cut the hump out to add a high hump?

Are you coming out to Carlisle again? we met at Special K's spot at the truck show last year...

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

We do stock the floors and all the other panels you see used. I am planning to go to Carlisle Friday or Saturday but I'll drive my Passat for the gas mileage

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Yes, then just drill the required holes

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

While Jim works on the cab I started assembling a bed. We decided to change the stepper to a fleetside wood floor bed.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Nice work Jon. Check out the '73 and up rear crossmember, it has a ledge in it that the wood sits nicely in, and it gives it a more finished look. The holes even line up for the SS rails
