Air ride planning: '61 Apache ??
I have a '61 Apache that I am finalizing my plan of attack.
I -think- I want to go air ride, but..... Step side. Factory X frame. I want a rear-mounted gas tank. I want subs behind the seat. I need to snake 3" (or bigger) exhaust from a turbo. I want it to ride very low. I don't want to give up bed space because I still need to carry stuff. Where do I put the air tank?

Re: Air ride planning: '61 Apache ??
Also some people like to Z the rear frame rather then do a notch.
This leaves the bed floor flat although shallower then before. But gives more room to hide things under Neath, and now more height to do it too. Alot nicer on a step side where you have no side pockets like a fleet side. |
