Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project
I know this thread is old and that you sold your truck... but dang what an inspiration. i have been planning my air set up for a while and will be going static first.
i have been trying to find good examples of bagged set ups that DONT use porterbuilt or crazy frame mods. just everyday trucks with enough done to get the job done right. i have to go static drop first before I do air so planning that path out as to not waste a ton of cash has been hard. most of your pics seem to be gone but the ones in post 49 are so helpful. the ones with your bed off showing your exhaust and cross member are so helpful. need to see some more like that. trying to figure out what to do with my exhaust. did you cut holes in your cross member or was that aftermarket? thanks again for all the pics |

the shockwave airbag with shockabsorber combo seem to work whell on most stock suspension have to say though that you might have problems with other stuff like the alighnment and the wheels rubbing the fenders , the specialized stuff often use different non factory steering geometrics so you can still drive somewat normaly when the air is almost out of the bags and be able to make a corner you could even use leafsprings in the back as the linkage with helperbags if you take more then a few leafs out of them , prolly need to add calltracks to keep the leaf from winding up though

Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project
Check out this thread C1ph3r: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...33#post7598233
There are a number of folks doing budget builds on the forum -- there are more of us with less money than those with more LOL. Search around, you'll dig some up.
