If you want I have a center console with the air gauges and paddle valves all you will have to do is use your air tank as the supply line to them then later you can add compressors and a tank like I did. Take a look and see if you want to build one

It seems if you get a factory ac cab heater box and built a block off and added holes for the ducts to attach you could have your heater core inside and maintain the same principle... Only thing is the fan. Kind of a tuffy maybe if you reworked the passenger fresh air vent and basically reversed it that might work... I don't know just shooting ideas I'm sure you have a much better idea then this. Can't wait to see what you come up with

Re: my patinia'd 69
 
Hey bud i came up with a parts list but i dont know if its a whole kit and would work please help!
-4 Dominator 2600 bags
-8 SMC or AVS 1/2" valves
-Homemade switch
-1 Viair #444c Compressor
-Old 5 galon air tank my grandpa has

Then all i would need is bag mounting brackets and air lines correct?

Re: my patinia'd 69
 
I recommend you get big red or little Larry's manual valves. I think that's the name but then there's nothing to go wrong and you will only need three ports on the tank rather than seven. Then spend the money you saved on dual 480c or equivalent. That's the heart of the setup so don't skimp

Re: my patinia'd 69
 
Can i "play" with the bags while driving with manual valves

69chevy lwb 05-01-2014 01:51 PM

Re: my patinia'd 69
 
Yes you push the paddle up and the truck goes up push it down and it goes down it has a supply to the valves so the whole thing is ran off of them

Re: my patinia'd 69
 
You know what im just going to say **** it and save my money and go all out and build mine like yours...can you pm me a total cost of everything you have in the truck please and thanks!

JustCallMeDrew 05-01-2014 09:54 PM

Re: my patinia'd 69
 
Ok two more questions...sorry for all the questions...can i get pictures of your panhard bar and bag plates in rear and c-notch? and how hard was the c-notch and how did you do it?

JustCallMeDrew 05-03-2014 09:59 PM

Re: my patinia'd 69
 
Ok i decided i want to run porterbuilt stage 1 front and for the rear i really want to run stage 2 porterbuilt but if i could get just as low with stage 1 and a home made notch i will probably do that...and a viair 480c with 5 gallon tank and smc 1/2" valves!

Re: my patinia'd 69
 
Sorry I never got back to you. I do recommend manual valves but that's my preference. It might be worth calling mate at porterbuilt or ride tech or avs the choice is yours but they can tell you everything you need to know and there all good people to do business with. I don't really have any good pictures of the set up but go to the c10 forum and read the air baggin forum it should answer your question s
