Re: 84 C10 Project
That is my concern, but a local air suspension shop (a friend of a friend) said it would not. Is it possible to maybe measure the space between your bed and frame in that area where I have the crossmember? It is placed right above the drivers side shock mount. That would be a huge help if you were able to.

Re: 84 C10 Project
Thanks for checking. It is hard to do that when my bed is upside down.... it is hard to reference exactly where that is.
Maybe I can remove that bed brace??? So, there is no room, it comes right down onto the frame? If that bed brace was gone, would there be enough room for that 1-1/2" square tube? Last edited by Pro Performance; 06-11-2011 at 10:50 PM. |

Re: 84 C10 Project
I just measured it using the rear bed mounting bolt as a reference point. It looks like this will clear that bed brace by 1/4"! Just barely made it.

Re: 84 C10 Project
Thanks for the words.... I was always worried it might not get low enough without changing the crossmember, but I like the more "hot rod" stance, so I think it will be alright. Do you have a build page for yours?

Re: 84 C10 Project
Got some more work done on it this weekend. Still have to mount the VIAIR compressors. But half the frame is painted.

Re: 84 C10 Project
I liked the notch. The frame is straight in that section so it fit well, and it is only $39.

Re: 84 C10 Project
Got the rear suspension back together and everything painted. Just have to paint the driveshaft, and the rear backing plates and drums. It is getting there though, and i am impressed with the Eastwood Chassis Black.

Re: 84 C10 Project
I am running 3/8" valves with 3/8" air line. Ordering them next week, and probably end up going with SMC's.

Re: 84 C10 Project
Nice build man. Did you say you used eastwood something to paint your frame? Where did you get it? and What did you like/dislike about using it?

Re: 84 C10 Project
I used Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black. I don't have any dislikes, other that the cost. It works really well, and bonds well to the metal. I used their primer as well, but I am sure it works equally as well with another brand of good primer.

Re: 84 C10 Project
Just ordered valves. I ended up using ASCO 3/8" valves, which is what Macs Springs recommended.
I am hoping to have them installed by this weekend, and the bed back on. |

Re: 84 C10 Project
Will do.....
I also worked on another rendering idea last night. Let me know what you guys think. Not quite as bright, but very clean and simple looking. Which I like.

Re: 84 C10 Project
I kind of got an idea of where I want to mount my 2 compressors. The leader hose is a little bit of a stretch but I think it will work.
Tanks mounted in:
