Re: 72 Suburban Build

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/f...splay.php?f=26 all posts relating to reviews/deals are on the review board. It has nothing to do with them being site vendors. We don't allow vendors to rip people off/create bad deals and then cover it up. I get really ticked every time people accuse me of that. I have dropped more than one vendor whom does not meet our expectations in customer relations/product quality.

Re: 72 Suburban Build

pics?

did you use trailer wiring to wire up the valves? i used speaker wire and im thinking of switching it out with trailer wire and running weatherpack connectors to make it like a plug instead of crimping all the wires to a male/female

that means wiring it up twice!!

Actually Accuair has a pretty nice wiring harness/relay setup that I bought. It made things a little easier.

Also, if you guys are interested in how the Scott's Hotrods situation has turned out, check it out under the review section. The owner (Justin) called me today and we talked for about 40 minutes. He's a good dude.

Re: 72 Suburban Build

Kick ass!

Makes me want to go outside and plumb mine. But I'd have to spray "Pam" down first, so I wouldn't stick to the concrete. 110 in the shade by the pool today. I'm happy looking at it from pool side, with a brew in hand!

Happy 4th guys!

Not using the e-level. Budget wouldn't support it at this time.

Re: 72 Suburban Build

I hear ya, thats why I asked, every accuair system I had seen so far had used the e-level. How much was the accuair kit if you dont mind saying?

Looks great on the floor, love the way the accuair rises and lowers.

I don't remember to be honest. I have the switchspeed with a 5 gallon tank and single compressor. I got it from Nate at Porterbuilt. I'll see if I can find what I paid for it.

Re: 72 Suburban Build

I hear you on the no room on the budget for the elevel set up. I did the Accuair manifold and wired it into a new AVS 7 switch box I had. It took some research to get the male end of the harness... found out its a Molex brand plug. The rest I just had to figure out.

That controller looks slick though. I will do the Accuair rocker set up when the budget allows.

The Accuair rocker is pretty sweet. I was playing with it today and found all kinds of different stuff it does.

Re: 72 Suburban Build

Nice. I was wondering how it all fits in there. So when you weld the plate in, the bracket gets bolted to that? How does it bolt to it? Wouldnt the pedal placment dictate were it needs to be mounted?
