Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

I have been meaning to build something to hold the air ride controller. I was tired of it being all over the cab when stopping or accelerating
I got a piece of aluminum and began forming it till I thought it would look like it was not there. With the limited skills I have here is what I ended up with. I personally think it looks pretty good and not out of place considering the rest of the truck.


Opinions?

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

In the next few weeks I'm tearing out the RideTech system off my truck and going to Accuair dual compressor elevel bigger tank system.



I will be taking out everything from the air control system including the elevel sensors harness compressor red block valves air tank everything but the bags which I'm re using. Nothing wrong with it just wanting a faster air up system with more capacity. All of this parts will be available for a fraction of the price.
