Re: help with air baggs please

Well if you want to lay frame on that truck it takes some work. We are in the middle of our shop truck build using a 71' LWB to start and its way more complicated than it looks. And if your going to do a Step notch I would recommend finding a good fabricator to make a crooked notch to match the frame. If you use a straight 8 piece not or even square tubing then it looks way outta place in my opinion. Heres how our notch came out.....

Nice work.

There are a couple of companies that offer weld-in step notch kits for the 'crooked' 6X-72 GM truck frames & one that might soon offer a bolt-in.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
