ford gpa g504

Hi Leo, i was told that there must be a bolt in the top of the vent hose. In this bolt there are 2 holes, 1 in the length (from the bottom to the head, but not through the head) and 1 perpendicular to this hole just beneath the head. I tried to make a picture of it, but it's almost impossible when t...

Hi Leo,

it's looking very good !!

Keep up the good work !

Best regards,
Glenn

Hi David,

To my knowledge, i would say that normal jeep shockabsorbers are the same for GPA.

Hi Guys,

i just came across this GPA. It is from the Indiana Jones movie.

Much easier to assemble and much cheaper than the real thing !

Hi David, the height between the side rail and the underside of the bolt = approx. 7 mm or approx. 9/32 " here is a closeup of the bolt : http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/GPA5892/HerschaaldekopievanP1000448.jpg and a picture of the brachet that slides under the bolt : http://i34.photobuck...

There are so many holes in the GPA (even when it's restored), that it's dificult to pinpoint the right one. As for the holes (welds) on top of the wheelwells, i also think they were used for aligning the sheetmetal. Also when you look on the left and right rear side panel (and on the rear panel) you...

Air vent for rear axle. You screw one end of the hose in to the breather hole of the rear axle (with the special adapter) and the other side of the hose is fixed in the hole - you suggest - with a nut (and a rubber on the outside to prevent leaking). In the top end of the hose you put a bolt for a b...

John,

Hopefully this picture helps. The drain is just behind the middle of the steering shaft.



I don't remember what the other outlet (that Tony showed) is originally used for, but i blocked it.

Hi David, These bolts (there is 1 on each side) hold the surfshield in place during heavy water conditions. Normally before you encounter bad weather, you flip the surfshield forward, slide the 2 u-formed plates behind these bolts and then you secure the surfshield with the 2 wingbolts. This is a fi...

Hi Donovan, it looks great ! Keep up the good work ! I remember my work on the hull, it was almost a never ending story ..... BTW aren't you going to weld the ribbed panels on the inside of the propellortunnel ? http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/GPA5892/GPA_AZ-plaatwerk4.jpg (On the picture you...

Hi guys, just an update for the people who are not reading on the G503. Regretfully i'm (still) way to busy with restoring my house that i don't have any time left to work on the screens. Seeing the excellent work of Dean (= slopes-2) i contacted him and asked him to also fabricate the passenger scr...

Hi John,

if you send me your emailadress i'll send you the file in .xls

Also i've made an excelfile of my own to (gu)estimate my GPA number. I gave in your number 5294 and i got the number 707398.

Hope this helps, best regards,
Glenn

David, i'm sorry, but i've been busy restoring my house ... therefore the 'screen'-project was postponed for a while ! Also i didn't think there would be so much interest in the screens, so i'm re-thinking the way to produce them. On one hand to keep the price interesting for everyone and on the oth...

Just to update this topic and show you the finished product of 16 years of blood, sweat and tears !

Hi guys,

So stop collecting GPA's, start collecting bicycles + some scrap sheetmetal ! ;-)

Enjoy,
