Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Progress is looking really good. Love this build. What are you using for the air suspension controls?

Tonight i got the last floor pan welded in and started laying out how the air management is going to fit. I was going to put it all under the car but didnt like how it was looking. I am liking this layout and just ordered a bracket for the accuair valve and module. I will clean and paint the spare tire well before i mount it all, May line with sound deadening also. |

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Having a little issue with my rear bag setup. Take a look at the pics and see what you think.
The brackets seem a little off and maybe not the correct height. Its hard to see in pics, but the part of the bracket that sits up in the old spring pocket is not sitting fully in there. The locating bracket coming off the side is stopping the bracket from going fully up to touch where the spring use to touch. It appears that a lot of the weight of the car is going to be resting on that small bracket that is welded on the side. Has anyone bagged an x-frame car and run into this?? |

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Thinking wrong upper bracket, wrong strong arm or incorrect mount location on the strong arm...assuming rotating the upper bracket makes no difference. Of course, Ride Tech can probably help.
Compressor and tank location looks great. |

If you look at the install on this 64 you can see that the rear upper bracket fits all the way up into the spring pocket, and the locating tab may be longer, allowing the mount to center in the spring pocket. Maybe i should try a pair of these brackets... |

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Just heard from Travis, He is sending some pics of my setup to the makers of the brackets to find a solution. Will be waiting to hear back from them.
Well i have plenty of other stuff to do to the car while the bracket situation gets figured out. |

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Got it fixed thanks to crawdadfox and Travis.
I found out i did not have the hole in the upper spring pocket in the correct location. Drilled a new hole in the center of the pocket. Also the manufacture of the bracket said there is a variance in frames and i needed to cut and re weld the locating tab. Wasnt super excited to cut up new brackets but went ahead and a little while later it all looks better. You can see from the pics i had to move the tab 1/2-3/4" to allow the bracket to seat fully up into the spring pocket. Oh well, the spring sits much nicer now. Also picked up my driveshaft today. Had to have the front shaft re tubed, and new cpp carrier support and slip style rear shaft. |

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
I just had the same problem with my 59 Elcamino. Seems this is a common problem as I was forewarned by a buddy with a wagon, you'd think the manufactures would solve this problem by locating the tab further down and including a simple spacer for the higher tab requirement.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Got that sweet column installed, and the unisteer linkage all hooked up. Installed the power brake booster and got the brake lines finished. Started installing the american autowire harness. SO far i am very happy with the harness kit.

![]() I am curious to see what you do with the gauge cluster. Will you have an air gauge in the cluster? Looks very nice so far. Keep up the good work. Take care, Tom

Thanks!! Quote:
Honestly i had not thought about an air pressure gauge yet. But now that you bring it up, i believe dakota digital does make an add on module fir displaying air pressure in one of the digital displays on the cluster. I will have to look into it. One last pic for the evening. STarted setting up the accuair stuff and running the air lines into the spare tire well. |

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Kept my oldest son up past his bed time to help me install the tanks and compressors!! He also went with me over to one of my apartment buildings to cut up a tree that fell in the crazy wind we had here today. Its always a fun time when he wants to be involved in the car build. He loved helping out with the wiring harness install i started yesterday because he could read all the directions to me!!
