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."

Re: Daverods project 66
man I have been taking my pain pills, I'm on some good stuff. I was trippin about the notch. You notch the crossmember for lift. You may or may not have a problem with it. put a motor in it and watch it lay out.

Re: Daverods project 66
Daverod.....I just noticed that you used the pancaked x-member that you made. Did your engine stands sit ok or were they modified too??

Re: Daverods project 66
I haven't gotton that far. My engines not in my 66. Do you think I'll have to mess with the engine mounts? I don't know if I'm going to use it or not. I'm thinking a DM might save me a lot of problems. But this is cheap and done.

Re: Daverods project 66
That part of the crossmember remains in the original location. So the engine stands will work without modificaton.
