Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
Wow.... that thing is looking killer!
I love the filler plates for the air ducts, and am curious about the headlights.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
Those look awesome, did you get the 7" round capsules from CCT or where? Also, do you have a picture of the lights on? I'd just love to see a 67-72 with HID's lol

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
Hey Jon, the trucks looking good. Quick question, are you missing a washer on the shock? Not sure if I'm seeing it correctly, but looks like there should be a big flat washer on the outside of your shock. Anyways, keep the pics coming.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
I would put one one big enough to cover the rubber bushing. Something like a fender washer should work. Here's a picture.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
Maybe they're not needed, but I believe in OVERKILL on suspension and brake stuff, .

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"
I just got the same KYB shock setup from ECE, and all it came with was the lock washers, so that's all I used. Those shocks have a larger sleeve? than the KYB gas-adjusts that were on my truck before, so maybe that's why they don't use a flat washer? I plan on keeping an eye on everything for a bit after I get it all put back together though. I can just see my front suspension falling off after I hit the switches on the bag setup
