Re: 1961 Crew Max
Few updates. Got the new/used firestone F9100 bags for the rear and after mocking them up and airing up A few times this happened. Oh well. New roll pan fit pretty good with some minor massaging. Drivers side bed panel had some rust and oil canning in the rear so it was replaced with another piece and some heat and shrinking. Next we fit the front bumper. We ended up tucking it closer in and up a bit to hide the front frame rails. We cut the frame horns and raised them and smoothed out all the bumper bolts. Overall A good fit. CHIZZLER

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Sucks about the air bag. But the truck is looking real good. Do you think you over traveled, or over pressured, or just bag bag?

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Nice work! That looks like there was very tedious work on that bed side. I give you props on that! The bag looks like a bad deal for sure. But, like already stated, better it happened now rather than later.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Thanks guys. We only put about 150 psi to the bags. These bags must have 2 layers because the bubble is still full of air. The lift of the bags is amazing adding about 3"- 4" of lift. Only things we had to do was drill a new hole in the center of the bag brackets and put a bend in the pan hard bar so it would clear the pumpkin with the extra height it goes now. CHIZZLER

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Some new progress. Got the rear bumper tucked up and in. All bumper bolts will be filled. Might have to raise the top opening for the license plate on the roll pan. Going to make a filler piece to hide the bumper brackets. Also got the firestone F9100's installed and now have about 10" to the rockers. Front doors were blasted and need inner door bottom patches. More to come. Thanks CHIZZLER

Re: 1961 Crew Max
Today we worked on the rear bumper area. We made a filler piece similar to (boosted bertha) build. We used 1 1/4" flat bar and bent it to follow the shape of the bumper. Also cut out the license plate box and made a new one and raised it. Thanks CHIZZLER.

Re: 1961 Crew Max
We starting working on the front inner fenders. We used the rear wheel tub and widened it 4". We cut a lot of it away and made filler pieces for front and back. Eventually it will be welded to the front fender. After cutting out for the upper A-arms we reinforced the bottom and made a filler piece. Passenger side will have a air filter in A box down low towards the front. Still waiting on those parts. Thanks CHIZZLER

Nice work Chizzler. I swung through the other day and your photos aren't doing the build justice.
