F-B-(poor man's S-S) with manual valves diagram/bagging on a budget - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi everyone, This is my setup for my truck with Manual valves. Enables me to do front and back and 4 way independent (kinda side to side..haha). I haven't really got a good compressor yet so i fill the tank at home by opening either dump valve (in red) and filling up the tank through there. (each red dump line is T'd off with a fitting for an air chuck to go on, to get air into the tank) Also i have 2 small electric compressors spliced together for emergencies that can be screwed onto either dump line (in red) to just pump up the bags not the air tank.

I like having 4 way independent incase something happens to one i can still pump up the other 3. Enjoy the diagram. Now i just have to figure out a way to mount all this stuff nicely instead of just having it sit on the passenger side floor all the time. When i get a better compressor i will hook it up to the tank directly.

Manual air valves -$7.99 each
Air bar - $4.99 each
Used 6 gallon tank - $10
Used heavy duty small electric air compressors from the early 80's -$ 15 for both
Hoses and fittings -approx $75??
Having my truck on bags - PRICELESS!

Thanks

i forgot the price of the bags were $68 each US. And now i realize my compressors are way too small

But are good for emergencies.
