I would probably stay away unless you know the person that is selling it. Electrical components like the comp or valves can be fried very easily if installed wrong. Also bags could be shot as well. And you would never know untill you got them on your vehicle.
Just be carful. If you can get it for a good price, then maybe go for it.

I got a setup kinda like that off ebay when I did my '69. Everything was new, he just never got the rest to put it together. The tank, bags and valves might be worth a look. Lowball him and see?

**Clyde65** · 01-25-2011, 02:47 PM

what would it be worth even as a lowball? I dont want the compressor or switches either. just enough to set up the rear of my 65 and run the lines to where I can fill them or deflate them easily.

I got a kit like that off cl 5 months ago I paid $380. Installed it last month works great saved about $1200.00

Offer him $150, you should be able to sell the compressor, valves, and switches for about that and you have the bags for free.

**Clyde65** · 01-25-2011, 06:16 PM

I emailed him and am waiting on a reply.

sorry....

i agree that you should low ball him. the four links wouldnt do any good without the rest of the brackets. maybe the guy doesnt know what he's got or what its worth.

If that's all you need, then why buy\pay for the other stuff? The 4-bar links are useless w/o the brackets (which I don't see) & even if brackets were included, do you plan to fab the necessary crossmembers to install them?

Used compressors, valves, & bags are hit or miss. I guess if the price is soooo cheap that you get everything for the price of 1 bag, or 1 tank, it might be worth the gamble.

That being said, you mention the desire to just install rear bags w/schraders into your truck. Why not just buy what you need new? 2x bags, 2x bag fittings, 2x schraders, & enough DOT airline to route to a convenient fill location.
