Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
It looks like it's going to be a nice truck, and a nice way to remember a friend. I'm sorry if I missed it, but what are you planning on doing with the truck once it's finished?
Anyhow, I hope that everyone remembers that there is going to be an additional 800 - 900 lbs put back on there once the cab, seat, gas tank, steering column, tailgate, and bed floor are installed, pushing the back end down even further. That may be too much of a drop. Just a thought to consider, if it hasn't been yet.

It's only a 6" drop in the rear and 4 1/2" in the front. I will have to c-notch the frame but the kit is not here yet. |

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
I should explain that the part is fantastic- the difficulty in the installation came from what looks like prior frame damage (minor). I was able to get things "Tweaked" back where they should be but it was kicking my !#@$! for a bit. The upside is that I lost about 18lbs. of water weight struggling with it |

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"
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"
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?
