Looks like you were running smoothies with those thin white walls. Did you change wheels too? What happened to the wheels

Yeah changed the smoothies for some chrome reverse .. the offset on the smoothies made them far too tucked in at the back.
Still got them in the shed out back :0)

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59

I searched for that white truck but couldn't find that pic even. I was searching what's on the door... Rat brothers garage, El Paso Texas. I found a Facebook page for that garage name out of Socorro in the EP area.... But nothing more of the truck.

Re: How about some pics of bagged 47-59

There's one on this site that hasn't been updated for a couple of weeks.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=725080

There's another one over at classictrucktalk that is a little more blow by blow

FWIW when I had airbags on my car I went with 1/4” lines coz I didn’t want to bounce it or make it move too fast. Turned out way too slow. I didn’t spend much time developing this system (tank volume, compressor, valves all come into play with speed) but for me I was going to try 3/8” then 1/2” if needed, figuring that was the easiest change to make next but didn’t get around to it.
I ended up going back to coil overs.
