Weekend progress. Air Ride complete/fire up supercharged motor - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*bskylerj* · 02-14-2006, 05:45 AM

The air ride is now working and the supercharged 454 has now been fired. We still need to tune it and dyno it. It is getting the rest of the body and paint done before we do this. I have a new cowl hood to paint, need to fill on the hole from the gas tank neck and reshoot the cab foreword. I will be then puting on all new trim and glass.

*bskylerj* · 02-14-2006, 06:02 AM

I also have a video of the air ride and of the motor running with the supercharger but can not figure out how to upload them. Any help would be great.

Nice job on the ride. Me, I wanna see the motor and maybe some tire action

Truck is looking real good!!

**Hart_Rod** · 02-14-2006, 09:06 AM

What size are your wheels and tires?

The wheels are 20x8.5. I will get the tire size as the rear tires are bigger than the front. The best part is the air ride is set so if I do lose a bag I can still drive it.

Great looking truck! Where's the engine!!!

**Yukon Jack** · 02-14-2006, 11:11 AM
