This thing is coming right along John... nice work! Can't wait to see the end result!

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

That looks awesome. I had to change the one in my '47 and it was the same way so don' feel bad, cut the stock one out and it took me forever to get the holes to line back up and to fight the new one in, serious crap.

It looks awesome though. I really want that and those new rear trailing arms but gah it is expensive.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

The exhaust is gonna route nicely through that.

ANother truck I drove that we slammed to the ground, I had to cut the center out but those new peices look nice.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Thanks! The more we get done the more exciting it gets

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I wish I were rolling it to paint now

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

So you're running a 4.5/6 drop on the truck right? What are the specs for wheels/tires?

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I wish I had the exact specs on the wheels but I left it up to the guy I bought them from. The fronts are 18x9 with 255/45 ZR18 rubber and the rears are 20x10.5 with 275/35 ZR20 rubber. I don't know the offset

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I gotta tell you, I like this one a lot!!

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Jon, did you see the new billet Kesler hood hinges? You and me need a set...Do you see any problems bolting them up to one of your '67 cowl hoods?

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Kesler? No; who's got them? Musclerodz?

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Fesler. Those won't work on our truck becuase THEY'RE $750.00!

That's a complete nitrous kit (if someone was so inclined) and a Flaming River steering wheel (with adapter) with money left over

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Cool costs money, maybe they'll come down in cost...

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

so, is that floor finished yet?

wanna trade cabs now?

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Wow! those 1 piece floors are pretty awesome, nice to see pics of one installed, thanks!

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

The floor is finished as soon as you can bolt the A and B posts to it, most of the time you have to repair them. There is no actual work involved to the floor. Cab corners are next, and then fix the fresh air boxes

You'll have to ask Jon about trades, he's waited along time for this one:lol:

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

are you putting those big pieces that sit under the gas tank back in? The angle brackets? I was going to leave them in for a template on where the florr goes back to...

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Sorry Mike, don't follow. You're not talking the channels that run under the floorboard are you? Can you post up a pic., so I'm sure of the pc. you're talking about?

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Mike I think those brackets are on the '68 ONLY. That's the only place I've ever seen them but I do think they're a good idea for tying the floor to the backpanel

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I see, sounds like a plan. I'm gonna try to make it to your shop prior to my mid Aug Yankees game so that I can pick up those two pieces. Looks like i'll need the kick panel patches as well....

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Started bolting together the nose sheetmetal so I can fit the radiator and get transmission lines made

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

man, it is coming along. Got the springs Jon, thanks putting them in tonight. Had to cut the stock ones out and decided to sue new Grade 8 hardware and blast the cups so i am re-installing them tonight.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Cool.

Had to take the pic with my phone....dead camera battery
