Re: Restoration thread for GPW 12078 Script
Thanks. Been looking for those for quite a long time. The show was pretty good, but I heard it was smaller than the previous one in Topeka.OldGPW wrote:Nice grab Luke!
How was the show?

Re: Restoration thread for GPW 12078 Script
YES!!!! I've hunted about 3-4 years for them. The vendor told me I didn't want them because they were "different, maybe Anderson or something."thidisbogus wrote:Luke are those Anco?

Re: Restoration thread for GPW 12078 Script
I sure would like to find me some Anco's. I cannot stand those common tandem reproduction types that the only ones you can get anywhere. They are the wrong measurements or are poor quality and snap when any pressure is put on them. I have tried three different sets and all the same..

Re: Restoration thread for GPW 12078 Script
The hard parts aren't extremely difficult to find, but they aren't generally sold when people figure out they are better. The blades are pretty sparse, or maybe scarce (In my experience) but perhaps I overlooked them previously.thidisbogus wrote:I sure would like to find me some Anco's.

Re: Restoration thread for GPW 12078 Script
I have those same type blades on my GPW. Blades are 9 inches long. Blades fit M38, M37, M151.
Have wiper arms that came off of either a M35 or M151. Fabricated a wiper system similar to the Anco.

Re: my old girlRestoration thread for GPW 12078 Script
I'm off of I44, about 2-2.5 hours from Edmond. Unless you go up 35, you'll pass about 20 minutes from my house.Bob at Warsaw wrote:luke

Your old girl is coming along and I'd enjoy it if you visited as you traveled through. You will not recognize her!
