Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

We only did the LH and the gap is perfect all the way around...should be around to the RH tomorrow. After fitting the door and welding everthing around it he drilled two small pin holes through the hinges so there will be no doubt as to where they go after paint; something I never thought of.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

So you welded the rocker in solid. I was thinking of doing that.. Any side affect of that>?

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

not that I'm aware of

The rocker is welded into the cab corner...

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Hey, nice build. I've got those same headers. What mounts did you buy? Thanks, ....Jerry:metal:

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Yeah...I didn't like the gap

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

They're from Brothers. I can't remember a brand name on them but they seem to work great

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Thanks......................Jerry

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

call me stupid...I meant there's no side effect (the second part of your post) that I'm aware of....not that I'm not aware of the rocker being welded to the cab corner

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

One problem with fully welded rockers is removal later for replacement. It's kinda hard to get the front separated especially, ask me how I know.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

This one really isn't a daily driver and will be stored indoors; but I can see it being an issue on a driver....especially in the northeast

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

wow....there's a LOT of holes in a stock firewall

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

Keep fillin':lol:

BTW, you have a broken bolt to mount the cowl down on the D/S, now would be a good time to fix it(before paint)

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

I saw that yesterday...thanks!

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

where were you when i was putting my front clip together? after spending hours shaving trim holes, fixing dents, primer / paint, and hours of sanding, i never noticed that my driver side fender had a bolt broke off in the bottom of the fender where it bolts to the cab.

what a PITA to do while on the truck....

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
 

C'mon, it couldn't have bin that hard to fix:haha:At least ya didn't break off an easy out like another fellow
