Just bought a 70 c10, want air bags
Just drug this truck home yesterday and it's in desperate need of some attention. The truck is currently 6 lug and has a leaf sprung rear end. Very interested in swapping it to 5 lug and air bagging it. For the rear I am curious about pulling the axle shafts and just having them re-drilled, while I am doing this I would like to convert the rear to disc brakes. Any info on doing this swap? Factory parts maybe off of something else I can use for the disc conversion? I've done a few rear disc conversions on other vehicles I've owned and was able to gather up factory parts off different vehicles to make it work. Any ideas? Also I would like to build a very basic air ride system for it, done a lot of fab work in my time but have never built an air ride system and I'm trying to figure out what all I will need. Obviously the bags, compressor, how many valves? What type? Switches? ANy help would be greatly appreciated! Have a ridiculously small budget on this one so trying to make it cool but on the cheap, lots of fab skill, just little $$ Thanks!!
