Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project
I'm sure he meant CPP, they make the bolt-in notch that most people use, including myself.

They list it for $99. Check with our board vendors, you should be able to save a few bucks.

Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project
I have a CPP notch but after seeing others I think I'm gonna get some thick steel round tube and make the notch round to match the rear end and then box the frame in that area. you can fab a notch like the others also....

Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project
go with slam specialties RE7's. They are $75 each, and have worked well for me. I used them on my '50 too.

Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project
***************** usually has them in stock. And yeah, fabbing your own notch should not be any big deal. Just use some .25 wall tube, and i would suggest boxing that part of your frame too.
there's a really good write up on fabbing your own notch in the FAQ section. |

Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project
thanks so much guys! i really wish i could start on this now! but first, i need tires.
i might get the bags, build the notch, install the rear bags, then run some lines to a ball valve, so i can use it without a compressor and tank, once i can afford that stuff ill upgrade. |

Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project
i'm not sure how well a ball valve will work. especially since you need to be able to force air in, and let it out.
Another option for doing bags on the cheap is to use shrader valves. You can get them at NAPA for a couple bucks. Then you don't even need to run a tank. I suppose you could run a tank with a single shrader, then have ball valves between each bag and the tank, but then you'll still need something, maybe a shrader to let air out. just some thoughts. |

Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project
uhmmm run 4 tire inflator thingies you know the ones you hook up to youre compressorhose to inflate the tires http://www.sz-wholesale.com/uploadFi...mber_46254.jpg
they have a handle to put air in and a small valve to let air out and a big clock to measure the amound of pressure . you need to put a different hose on the end so there permanently hooked to the bags though or maibe one of those thats hooked up to a manifold with 4 schrader valves so you can tune the bags one at a time by opening the valve to that bag

Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project
ok guys, after having the '69 sit in the garage for damn near the whole summer, it's time to get this into the hands of someone who will drive it, use it, and take care of it.
http://desmoines.craigslist.org/cto/1350766086.html http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=tab%3DSelling http://www.goodguysclassifieds.com/c...olet_C_10.html If you're a board member, I'll throw in all of the spare parts i have. new black dash pad, inner wheel wells, lights, etc... hell, if you want it, i'll throw in the '69 clip that was on it, and another '68 hood (purple but dent/rust free) |

Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project
Don't rule yourself out due to distance. I've been itching for a road trip, and would not hesitate to make the 11.5 hour drive down there in it.
PM me if you're really interested. |
