Re: project (sweet pea)
![]() ![]() Just thought I'd throw it up. I went ahead and blew and sanded down my hubs and went with a rustoleum black to see what it'd turn out like. I noticed in one of your pictures that the hubs were pretty noticeable with those rims so just an idea. Nice job on the lower. |

Re: project (sweet pea)
hope you got a chrome tank for that system and used hard lines going down either that or paint the tank the same colour as the truck

Re: project (sweet pea)
Yeah I watched along on your resto. I know all about what you did. I was just throwing it up because it looked like you had swapped rearends and could see the hub pretty noticably.

Re: project (sweet pea)
Its on air not 100% finished yet still need to bleed the brakes. make a rear shock mount,re-do the exhaust. and make new upper shock mounts....
So its 2.5 dropped spindles (already had) Slam RE-7 up front with upper and lower bag plates. In the rear I had to switch to trailing arm suspension (from leaves) went with OEM trailing arms..3 inch CPP lowering blocks Slam RE-7 in the rear.CPP deluxe trac bar kit. And I was already C notched before 8 3/8 valves.3/8s Air Line ( gallon tank) 2 Viar 380 compressors A.V.S 9 button Switch Box.....I think that is about it Any way here are a few pictures..........Tony.P Last edited by bad6772; 04-29-2010 at 10:03 PM. |

Re: project (sweet pea)
Thanks every one.This has been a long process.
Quote:
Thanks keith Total drop from before is roughly 7/8 of an inch lower in the front. And a little over 7 in the rear... Quote:
Thanks Doug....You and Richard H. was the only ones I told... On a side Note......I would really like to thank Tyler( board member here)....He has been a great help in this whole process....He did 99% of all the wiring and all the plumbing of the lines. The whole lay out really was his idea's I was the grunt work guy lol, and for the record....If I ever have to drill a 1inch and a 1/8.hole again upside down on my back...I will probably kill my self lol ...I have always considered my self to be able to work things out in my head........But some of this stuff just kept throwing me curve balls.. the whole Valve layout had me confused at least for a day....lol....So hopefully he will chime in..........And get some much needed Compliments...... |
