Wasn't there someone looking to reproduce the heater delete firewall plates? Any chance you could make that happen? I'm sure the market is to small to make it happen, but I'm sure there are a few people that would be interested.

Re: Project: Ginger
 

Glad to see a thread for ginger. It's looking REAL good. Progress on mine has come to a screeching halt unfortunately. But it's good to see you're still kick it hard core. We might have to make a trip back down when funds straighten out.

Re: Project: Ginger
 

That is not the case at all.
I've been slacking really.
I just brought this thread up to date.

Re: Project: Ginger
 

I wouldn't know where to start.
If I had any welding skills I would have just smoothed the firewall.

I did find an aftermarket company that makes one for A/C equipped trucks.

Simply amazing!

Re: Project: Ginger
 

Awesome its about time!

Re: Project: Ginger
 

Awesome project Keith! I knew it was going to be nice but had no idea what you had up your sleeve. I really love the engine/tranny setup. That chassis is first class too. Hard to believe there are trucks out there like this. More pics please.......Subscribed.

Re: Project: Ginger
 

Small update,... but a huge step for me.
Members hot trux and 72BlckButy stopped by to help me swap cabs.
This gets my '70 stepside cab off the '68 lwb "paint frame" and onto it's new frame,... the ex-n2billet "Tootsie Roll" Dropmember chassis.

Not only do I regain my daily driver parking spot in the garage,... but I have plenty to do now.
Thanks again to Jeff and Nate,... I owe you guys.
(also did a test fit of the stepside bed).
Here's a couple pics,...

Re: Project: Ginger

The buffed cab really shows against the bed.....

That looks stunning! Dang it, now I want a stepside!

Re: Project: Ginger

Re: Project: Ginger
 

Nice color. Anyone have side by side color comparisons of Medium Bronze, Bronze, and Metallic Bronze?

Re: Project: Ginger
 

Looks great....is that "Bigfoot" standing behind the pole holding a beer?!:lol:

Re: Project: Ginger
 

My truck color is actually called Copper or Copper Poly.
(EDIT: see correction below. It's 4522 Bronze)

I think that is him!
Where's the pics of your new ride?

Thanks for all the comments!

Re: Project: Ginger
 

Nice job. You're already ahead of me..... :waah:

Re: Project: Ginger
 

Huh, sorry about that. Looking at some previous pictures, yours looks very close to mine.
In some of your fender shots, I can see the copper difference. Must be the camera or lighting, but your cab looks identical in color to mine.
My SPID says Bronze Metallic I believe, def not Copper.

Really liking the engine you put together! :metal:

Re: Project: Ginger
 

wow..that thing is CLEAN !!

Re: Project: Ginger
 

You are correct and I was incorrect.
I just looked at the glovebox door and it says "4522 Bronze".
My buddy had some old 1970 paint books,... and the 522 code said "Copper Poly".
Thanks for the correction.
Is your truck a '70 or '71?
