For the rear, the air spring will be relatively a bolt-in application, but you will need to fabricate a spacer for the top of the spring for access to the air inlet. Here's a photo of my rear air spring - note the spacer with hole (for air hose access) and mount plate.



For the front, it will be easier to fabricate an upper mount plate that covers the upper coil spring pocket, again for access to the air inlet, than trying to fit an air spring inside of the coil spring pocket.



4)one other question is what offset rim does this truck use? im planning on throwing atleast 18x8's on it.

This will be largely determined by the width of the rearend you select.

I hope that helps...being partial to '63s, it looks like a cool project.
