Newbie here, looking for bagged 71 c10 info

[Spaz]

Hello all, new to the forum. Been researching for a few days now. just recently purchased a 71 chevy that im lookin to bag. Ive bagged my 95 chevy ext cab 1500. So airbags arent new to me. Also air cylindered. Dodge stratus. Now my questions also include stuff about my truck. Im curious to leanr all i can. I have a long bed, wood bed floor. Now does anyone know where i can get the filler panels for the gas doors on the bed? My truck has 3 gas tanks, all operational. Only have heard of dual tanks. Im planning on taking two out and using the tank thats connected to my cab. I have sum panels i need to change out due to rust. After the rust and body are straight, i will be painting it and doing airbrushing on it. Mite just airbrush a custom looking molding on the sides.

Also my goal on this build is to bag it and get as low as i can without super serious frame surgery. I know ill have to get a big notch. Ive been seeing the trailin arms have 2" lowering blocks(i have trailing arms on mine). Is this a quick lowering fix or mandatory on getting the truck low?

Now in the front i want to just lay out the x-member is good enough for me. Can anyone tell me if i can keep my stock a arms if i go that low? I will eventually upgrade to the aftermarket arms. Got more research to do before i choose a company. Will i also need drop spindles? I mite do a stock floor body drop later on. Im not lookin for a fancy setup. Just plain jane that will let me lay out clean and fast.
Not worried about the pumpkin hitting the bed. The floor will be sectioned out. Planning on running 20" wheels, probably on 40 series rubbers. Thanks for any help, ideas, info, pics or links! I anyone has pics of thier front bagged setup id be much appreciated if u posted em.

Yes, you run trailing arms with lowering block, and that will work with the combination of air bags in place of the rear coils. There is a lot of different ways to do it, but that way will work, and depends on budget.

You can get the front cross member on the ground with stock arms, but will need the drop spindles to do so. You can do a fairly simple setup and achieve what you are looking for. The taller tires make it tougher to lay the frame on the ground in the front. To get the front cross member on the ground using a tall tire, I would recommend a drop member such as Porterbuilt.
