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

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"

Are the firewalls available in both A/C and Non A/C versions?
Thanx

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

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"

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...

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"

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
