Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
Is the ride noticeably different with the 2 link?

I've ran the Ekstensive 2 link in the past and been pleased with the ride. |

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
So if you were to do some tire shredding doughnuts, the rear end wouldn't be in danger of flying off? l.o.l. I've heard allot of guys talking about "how inferior the 2 link is." I like to try one, because it looks like it would be the easiest, least expensive set up.

 I can say personally I've never had any issues with a 2 link under normal driving conditions & an occasional burnout or launch in my old 94 Chevy truck with Ekstensive kit (not that it was big horsepower). RedRat has a two link on his truck also. Now he did add a few link bars to his to try to eliminate the possibility of anything like this happening. He's got a pretty rowdy big block in it. He doesn't have a lot of miles on it since rebuild but no issue on his either. Yes, 2 links get bashed quite often but the ride quality, simplicity, & clean look of Ekstensives kit has me going back to them again & I see a lot of their stuff out there. |

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
Here is the switch panel location. I wanted something hidden when you looked inside but still easily accessed from drivers seat.

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
Just curious how you have 3 switches controlling 4 air bags?
Did you "tee" two together? BTW,... sweet switch box. Very clean!

Yes. I have the front two bags & two rear bags teed together. Everything bagged I've ever had just had front & rear controls on it instead of 4 independent bags. So that's what I went with on here too. The 3rd switch is a compressor cut off switch just in case I want to turn it off even though I'm running a pressure switch. |

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
I really like the switch location
 Sure wish the POs of my trucks had thought of that instead of drilling a hole in the dash with a rotary axe

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
I got the truck aligned at ride height yesterday & checked the clearance on a few things while it was on the lift.
It had about a 40 mile shake down drive. The truck had no issues & rides great. My ride height is just a hair lower in the front then it was with the static drop in front & and about the same in the rear. It never rubbed or bottomed out a bit on the way home & had it up to about 65-70 mph. Now to finish up just a few small things & get her all cleaned back up. Roughly the ride height in this pic... |

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB
JWall, truck is looking awesome! Glad I finally got caught up on this thread. Quick question on your AC setup after you went to the serpentine belt:
- What AC condenser are you using, and how did you mount it? - Are you using AC lines off of an OEM setup, or were they custom made? - Did you switch over to R134a, or are you still running R12? Thanks man! |

It's been converted to R134a, its got custom made lines, & I believe its a condenser off an 88-89 chevy truck. I will have to look back and find out for 100% sure. (that was done many years ago by my Dad). |
