I guess you'll have to rasie the front and drop the rear to drain your tank? Build is coming along nice.

You know, i didnt even think about the drain on the tanks when i mounted them, just thought they looked cool there and gave me lots of room for exhaust. Thanks for pointing that out i will fix that little problem.

I'll bet you could get it level just by messing with the air in your bags. Or you could do some welding and grinding and stuff and stuff. Your right it does look cool.

Rollinrooster,
Very nice and accurate install on those brake lines. They couldn't be mistaken for a novice install, that's for sure. Keep up the excellent work! Fab1

You know, that was my first time ever doing brake lines. A very good friend of mine ownes a hotrod shop (PrecisionRod and Custom). He let me borrow some brake line tools and gave me some advice to get started with. Youre not to far away in Kingsport, and are welcome to stop by anytime just pm me.

I just went through brakes in my class, part of it the students had to make brake lines. I had them do mine I only wish they had turned out as good as yours, you get and At in my book, excellent job.

Super sharp truck!!! If you would like to do some more brake lines I am about 30 miles away and I will bring it to you in a heartbeat. My method seems to be a big hammer and low IQ!

Thanks for the kind words, i wish i had someone to do mine.

[rollinrooster]

Got some front shocks on the cheap!! thanks to daverod. Just need to finish mounting them.

[xpickup]

rollinrooster, Chassis looks great. I am glad to see how someone is mounting there shocks when they are bagged. I figured it would look something like that. Keep up the great work.

Very nice. Did you see how the bottom of mine mounted? Kinda of a u shaped thing that the shock stud mounts into. Made it alittle easier to get in the right spot. Had to move mine a few times. I got them to fit without wheels spacers but I think I will buy some spacers anyways. Kinda depends on what wheels I get.

Yep, i looked at the way you set yours up and then decided to start on mine. I have spacers on the front of mine, so i have good clearance on everything. I'm still trying to figure out how i want the top mount to be.

[daverod]

Are the spacers 1". Where did you buy them? I think I'll get some.

[Chevette]

Absolutely beautiful. Kudos on the super clean details. I've seen a lot of AD's on S10's and yours is one of the best I've ever seen. When viewed from the side the wheel base is perfect for the fender openings (rare on an AD/S10). Also, the wheels suit it perfect. Love it.

Are you running your air lines down the inside of your frame from your front?

Yeap. I'm just begining to start laying out the air ride. I'm going with accuair.

[daverod]

You'll love it. Best thing is it so easy. Remember to plug in one intake if you don't use it. Make sure your grounds are good. Did you get the switch too.
