Ooo, this is going to be a good topic.

I thought about you yesterday, los-lowrider. I was in a junkyard in Nashville, TN and saw a late 70s stepside LWB like yours.

KP Components has a 6link system so i guess you can say that I got the idea for the 6link from them. Everything else was all from the brain. :metal:

thanks a lot. I am ready to start driving it.

This whole truck started as a father son project. Well like most 47 year old guys they don't like trucks as low as i do. So we would argue about that. Then my dad wanted to put a big block in it that would haul ass. I don't care about being extremely fast so I wanted to put a stock 350 in it. So we found another truck and I started building mine and he had his that he started to build. We my parents want to sell their house and move into a bigger one that has a big shop in the back yard, back yard behind the shop for parts, trailers, etc. So all the money that was going into the truck started to go towards the house (new carpet, paint, tile, etc) So the other day my dad told me that I could have all the parts that we have (including all 3 part trucks) and he had already paid the painter to paint his truck so he gave that to me too. Hopefully with all the help that he has given me I will be able to finish the truck for the upcoming summer.

@red02chevy
If you have 3 part trucks maybe you have an lower a-arm driver side for me. I hit mine badly and have to exchange him for safety purposes.

@tvblazer78
Please post some details of your set up. And don't you use a notch, it looks very low for me. Do you hit the frame when it's aired out?

I have a few control arms. Let me take a look at them later today and get some pictures for you. I will PM you either tonight or tomorrow with the photos.

This is what I used from *****************,

8 SMC 3/8” Valves

4, 224c Firestone Air Bags 3/8” single port

67-87 Bag Brackets for front

Rear Upper Bag Bracket

3/8 Air line

Chrome 5 Gallon 4 Port

AVS ARC-9 Billet 9 Rocker Switch



(And don't you use a notch,) I was thinking about a c-notch, but I did not want to cut the frame.

(Do you hit the frame when it's aired out?) I run about 25-35 PSI and that gives me about 3"-4" from the frame. So no I have never hit the frame running it that way.

Thanks,
Trav
