Re: Z frames and shaved handles
 

my 78 is at nates and his part is almost done .then back home to finish the air ride , got a hp3000 oasis and some big red valves, but i am really stoked about my old school truck(61 big window) i am going to do a quick chassis ,pull all the torrsion bars, and i pancake a cross member (back in the day before we started the drop member) drop it real low up front and a small c notch in rear,i am keeping all the stock 250/ and power glide super clean chassis and old faded paint , this truck won't have air ride ( wierd for me) and i still have my new frame at nates for the 66 big window,but nate is a little back up so the project maybe out till march, i got the cab done for that truck, so low what color are you spraying you truck, and man is that building your shop?merry christmas dino(chevy only)

Re: Z frames and shaved handles
 

hay dino I seen you have a big oaisis compressor in your green truck and three batteries I cant keep my batteries charged at all Im just running two big unites, and they are not very good just wondering if that big compressor works good and if it sucks a lot of juice? I need to fill two 7 gal tanks fast. latter man

Re: Z frames and shaved handles
 

yeah it do, the oasis runs 60amp,but only runs for about 60 seconds, and fill my 5 gallon tank, about 150psi, i run a 8 gauge wire to the batterys and 150amp alt works good, i have this set up on my panel and my 78, but you got to have high cc amp batterys like optima batterys . about 900 cold cranking. let me know . dino ( sorry mr low to jack this thread)
