Re: Daverods project 66
Put my rubber door seals on and got my mat in. Don't know what I'm going to do about the peal and seal? Thing runs super.

Re: Daverods project 66
that's how I was going to run mine. You wont be able to lay it on the frame in the front because of the crossmember, But that's the way to go, or make your own brackets.

Re: Daverods project 66
So when I let all the air out the crossmember would sit on the ground? Do you think I would have to change the steering set up?

Re: Daverods project 66
you wont have to mess with the steering. This is mine without drop spindles and a small notch in the rear. Gives you an Idea.

Re: Daverods project 66
Sweet, I was worried about the steering. My truck has a lot of body roll.I thinking I need to put a sway bar on the front, maybe new shocks? I have a sway bar off a 71 sub. I going to see if it will work. Maybe something to do today.

Re: Daverods project 66
Dave it will go as low in the front as the frame is where it touches to bump stops. Measure from the ground to the lowest part of the frame where the bump stops were. Then with the springs installed subtract the space between where the bump stop was and what would hit it. I hope that didn't sound too confusing. I wish I can draw you a picture.
![]() I wouldn't install a sway bar at all. If you install the front and rear air bag controls independently and not connected to each other, like front and rear controls on 2 switches. If you have each bag adjustable you don't need a sway bar. Example is when the truck leans to the right the air in that bag will gain more pressure. If the air line is connected to the left bag along with the right bag, and controlled with 1 switch, when the pressure gains in the right bag it will transfer the pressure to the left bag. Causing it to lean. When the pressure stays in each bag it will keep it from leaning to that side. Are you really confused now. ![]()

Re: Daverods project 66
Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to put the sway bar on. On my 64 (Work/Driver) I'm thinking about bags with no compressor for now. I want the front lower and I thought that would be a good way/ cheap way to do it. I'm going to cut some more off my spring today just to see what it does. I want more of the stink bug look. Right now it's just about level.

Re: Daverods project 66
I hate stuff like that. Stuff with instructions and parts with numbers and stuff. I always make my wife put that stuff together, or at least read it and tell me what to do.

Re: Daverods project 66
Oh it's nothing that is bought. were builing it ourselves.
The air tank size depends on if you wanna play or if you just wanna go up and down when you get in and out. My truck just had a 3 gal tank at first in that pic. Only front and back. I'm going to run a 8 Gal now, 8 valves and I wanna play a little at first. A 5 gal is a good all around tank. Remember you need to check the rateing on the compressor to see what size tank they will fill. Most Viars are rated for a 5 Gal. That's why I'm running 2.

Re: Daverods project 66
Sweet ,now I know. I can live with building stuff as long as there's no instructions. I love it even better when the instructions are in like 12 different languages. A picture is ok as long as it's in English..

Re: Daverods project 66
Parts fairy dropped off some new u bolts. They were larger then the old ones. Had to drill new holes, what a pain did'nt wait to spend 20 on a new bit. Gott my arms and tires mounted. Can't figure out why it won't go all the way to the ground. In think my upper arms are hitting the frame and stopping it from moving down? If I stand on the front it will go all the way.??

Re: Daverods project 66
You have to notch out at the top of the spring cup so the upper arm will go lower.

Re: Daverods project 66
Looks like they notched it to get access to the bags. Good idea I'll do it. Still don't see why my frame is'nt on the ground. I guess with my engine in there it will be. Just has me worried. My arms look really close to the frame. they touch it. I was thinking they were bindiing.

Re: Daverods project 66
You dont need to access the bag from there. Go take a look at it and I bet your arms are hitting right here. Look and a bunch of other pics of bagged trucks and you'll see the same.

Re: Daverods project 66
I don't know? the upper arms are'nt even close to the part that is notched in the pictures. They move in the other direction. Are you popping pain meds like smarties again.
![]() #17 From the linky. "They are cut out for access to the top of the bag. It looks as though he welded in the upper bag plate instead of bolting it on. When you do that the only way to access the top of the bag is to cut an access hole. IMO even if you bolt that plate on, it is a good idea to cut an access hole to make it easier to swap the bag out."
