good deal dude. is that for 2? Be careful about ebay bags thought. Some are knock offs that use the dom and slam logos. Got a link to the buy.

daverod · 03-16-2010, 11:30 PM

I just typed in dom 2600 on ebay .

http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Air-Lift-D2600...3355bbb8e1Here ya go. First link did'nt work.

ruffrida2005 · 03-16-2010, 11:35 PM

Hey man where did you put the angle on to get the pinion angle on the rear. I need to get an Idea. Do you put it on the rear where the bolts go on the cover?

And your link dind't work, Just shows free shiping

daverod · 03-16-2010, 11:41 PM

I put it on the flat part where the u bolts hold the u joint on then just added 90 degrees and went from there. Mines just tacked untill I get my engine and trans in. Then I'll do it for real. Link works now.http://www.carcraft.com/howto/91758/index.html

ruffrida2005 · 03-16-2010, 11:53 PM

Bags look good. Thanks for the pinion info

I just got the bags on ebay, no kit I'll make the cups. I'm just going to cut some pipe off and cap the end. Not sure what I have to do on the top? I need the practice welding .

Ordered a 8 gal 8 port tank.

Someday I'll have everything I need.

daverod · 03-17-2010, 06:02 PM

Some guy in a brown truck dropped of a box.

So glad now I won't have find a curb to shift into 2nd.

Even came with new rods. It just like my old one but better and newer and shinererer.er

and blury

Strodder · 03-17-2010, 08:37 PM

Great score on the Bags Dave. I can get Contitech's for the same price , but they don't have as good features. The internal bump stops are important if you want to show off and blow sparks while your driving.

ruffrida2005 · 03-17-2010, 09:15 PM

The Doms dont have bump stops in them. The Slams do.

daverod · 03-27-2010, 05:54 PM

Got my shifter put in. Works great. Recieved my front air bags, made a home for one of them. Still have one to go.

$15 in metal and about 2 hours cutting and grinding each .

daverod · 03-27-2010, 06:15 PM

Picked up a hoist from HF, sick of renting one. Got a 8 gal tank now I need to build a floor for it.

protrash64 · 03-27-2010, 06:27 PM

Nice work on the arms. You'll like having that much air with the 8gal tank.

ruffrida2005 · 03-27-2010, 07:07 PM

I'm glad you got pics of yours in your bed. I'm trying to decide of where to put mine. Good work on the arms

daverod · 03-27-2010, 11:41 PM

Did I say 2 hours each ?

Where did the day go?

More like 8 hours for both.

protrash64 · 03-28-2010, 01:31 AM

Looks like that grinding disc has seen at least 8 hours of work...

bubba327 · 03-28-2010, 11:43 AM

Looking good! That will be a thrill just to blow up the bags and watch your truck go up and down...up and down... up and down... up and down... up and down...
the day is coming soon!

Stop it I'm getting sick!

watahyahknow · 03-28-2010, 12:55 PM

think i need to mound some bags to the bedposts , will make life a lot eazier

daverod · 03-28-2010, 02:52 PM

I ordered the top mounts for the bags from SD. I was going to make them but the ones from SD were cheap and easy.

I need to get some smaller tires for the front. The ones I have on there now are huge. They hit the cab.

?I'm not sure what to do about engine mounts? I'm putting a 350 in it and I don't know if the stock 283 mounts will work? I think I have to move the engine forward so my dizzy will fit?

ruffrida2005 · 03-29-2010, 12:39 AM

all gen 1 chevy blocks are the same size and mount the same, My truck was a 283 and was swaped with a 350. I think it was mounted on the back holes, and my buddy dented the fire wall in to clear the valve covers when he owned the truck.

daverod · 03-30-2010, 08:11 PM

Painted the side of my 64 with some rattle can. Tried to make it look somwhat old. I'll paint the truck next year for real. I just want to get all the metel work done and still be able to drive it. Bought a metal floor for my air tank, still need to get stuff mounted.

Weather here was sucking made me happy I had a heated garage.

bubba327 · 03-31-2010, 11:39 PM

It is snowing here again Dave-- And April fools day is tomorrow. We all need to be careful.
your garage has more room when your sled is not in the way.

daverod · 03-31-2010, 11:42 PM

I just put my sled up for the year and got my dirt bike running. Maybe I should have waited a couple more weeks.

Spent the day cleaning stuff and learning about how to fill air bags. Snowmachine hill climbs at Pebble creek this weekend. Always a good time.

jason65 · 04-01-2010, 12:44 PM

Looking good Dave.
