Cool bagging a 62 step hopefully

New member. I have a couple of questions about air ride. I have a 62 stepper and I am wondering what I need to do to lay out this beast? Will the frame have to be z'ed? Is there conversions that will make life easier?

Re: bagging a 62 step hopefully

Theres a suspension section to start reading at. You asked for a conversion to make life easier, thats where porterbuilt comes in with the dropmember. Alot of people with dropmembers and z'd frames here. Oh yea there is nothing cheap about laying frame with a truck. You can save money doing it yourself if you have all the tools and welders to do it. Still alot of stuff you gotta buy.

Re: bagging a 62 step hopefully

Thanks for your input. I have already bagged a s10 before but no nothing about the 62 chevy. I am unsure on what I can get away with as far as factory parts, or other factory years parts.

you can get away with using anything as long as you can "make" it work
