Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
What I don't get about the kickdown cable being so long is that it's specifically for a 700R4.....what one earth could a 700R4 be mated to that would require and extra foot and a half of cable and shield? Does the 700R4 fit some Allison I don't know about?

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
4WD's have an outer bracket on that shock that "sandwiches" it to the frame...

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
Ok, this is awsome!
First, you're putting in a full floor. I just bought one at Carlisle and am starting mine. Second you're a vendor in NJ. I didn't know there was a place I could drive to to get parts. I was wondering, if I came up to buy a couple of pieces I need, would it be possible to get a close-up look at this truck? I'm pretty much ok with doing my floor but it would be great if I could see a build up close.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
Not really. I've been out of the office for a week and I'm waiting on the new fuel tank to do the fuel system next. I may come in tomorrow and drill/grind out half a dozen more rivets to get that out of the way.
I did drill the frame for a bulkhead fitting and ran the rearend vent: |

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
Does the rear require that fancy of a breather/vent? Or are you just being fancy?
Usually you only see a plain hose right?

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"
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
