Bagged 67-72 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72_Chev_Truck · 12-05-2004, 05:55 PM

Since I will have my rear suspension torn apart this winter i was considering putting bags on the 72. I would like to see pics of bagged trucks with the stock trailing arm suspension in place so I can get an idea on how to get it done. Ive never bagged anything before and I wanna do it to something thats not my daily driver so I can get a feel for it. thanks

I recently posted a similar thread. From what I learned It is really easy to install. The bags go were the rear springs were located. Here is a picture that someone posted on my thread. This frame also has a "C notch" in it. ECE offers a complete lowering kit for the rear.

on the front, do you have to bolt in the lower mount so it doesnt move around?

No, the bottom of the bag is bolted to a cup. The cup "floats' in the pocket where the coil spring once was. The bag is bolted to the upper mounting plate only

Mr. Shelley,

Is your truck together? Have pics? Just wanted to see the stance with your method of bagging.

MrShelley · 12-06-2004, 09:00 PM

My truck is FAR from together. The chassis is almost done, but everything else is quite a ways off.
