Schrader Valves

[72 cheyenne pdx]

I am not sure if it was a factory option or if the PO made it, but my FIL had air shocks on his 69 El Camino that had Schrader valves that mounted right under the tailgate. He said it was great to have because, whenever he had to carry a load in the "caruck", he would roll into a gas station and put air into the shocks to put it back to stock height. I would assume that you would be able to do the same thing with bags as long as you kept the bags independent.

Good luck on the set up.

Yep.... That's how I used mine but the air went to bags vs. air-shocks.

Thanks for the replies. I was looking at bags and suicidedoors. Are the Slam Specialties better than the Firestones or any others. I see that they are a little more expensive, but I don't really know the difference between them all. Thanks again!

Popular opinion would say, yes they are. Some of the attributes that the Slam bags have are in internal bumstop and its said they "balloon" (expand horizontally) less. They have a very good reputation in the lowered scene. Get them!!! With that said, firestones are tried and true....
