Bagged the 76 this weekend...
I've been wanting to do air ride on the 76 for a long time now but just wasn't ever sure what components I wanted to use & for me keeping the factory inner fenders & an uncut bed floor was a must. Well after a lot of researching & brainstorming and a lot of help from Low1Ton & RedRat its finally done!
Here is the finished product... just needs an alignment & she's ready to go! |

That's proof that you can improve on perfection! Looks good Justin. You've got my vote for TOTM.

I then used a Thorebeck Bros panhard bar. It is in front of the rear end due to my truck having the Blazer tank. The shocks are in the factory location with shock extender brackets. I have a set of bump stops in the notch to stop the truck just before the rearend hits the bottom of the bed floor. The only sacrifice really is that you could go even lower in the rear (even with the bolt in notch) if you were willing to cut the bed floor. The front is the Ekstensive front kit which is the bolt in upper bag plate & lower cup that several companies offer for these trucks. More info in my build thread too... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=569216 |

Re: Bagged the 76 this weekend...
Nice!!! I'd like to do this with my 79...
Is your wheel set up taller than a stock height wheel and tire? Just curious to see if running a set of steelies with a typical set of rubber would put you lower or not. |
