i am going to air bag this on a budget. not planning on cutting the floor or notching the frame. i was wondering if any one had any templates for the rear mounts or front mounts for the bags. the truck has trailing arms in the rear and original a arms out front.

Great looking truck....always nice to have a fellow paramedic here too. Im sure you'll get some feedback from the guys who drop em here.

Rich 5150 69 · 02-02-2012, 04:34 PM

Cool a hamered lid, you`re about as low as you can go in the rear without c-notching the frame. And Welcome to the site...

65-c fire/medic · 02-02-2012, 04:36 PM

thanks man. i was going to make it an old farm truck but my pin stirper changed my mind. its a lil squirley for my taste but it looks cool and grabs attention. this is just my beater until i get my 29 model A coupe finished.

65-c fire/medic · 02-02-2012, 04:37 PM

rich, i still have about 4 inches between i can go in the rear on frame and bed clearance.

61_FL_Apache · 02-02-2012, 04:38 PM

65-c fire/medic · 02-02-2012, 04:43 PM

The problem is suspension travel, any little bump it will put the frame down on the axle,

65-c fire/medic · 02-02-2012, 04:47 PM

a few more pics with the louvered hood....

65-c fire/medic · 02-02-2012, 04:49 PM

how much travel is in an air bag? can i not just run 80% full while driving to gain my clearance back?

Rich 5150 69 · 02-02-2012, 04:49 PM

Nice truck Medic..

61_FL_Apache · 02-02-2012, 05:03 PM

My 65 was notched but the 61 is not.

b2948kevin · 02-02-2012, 05:33 PM

Welcome to the forum!

Not sure if this is something you'll need, but these bag cups are for sale in the classified section and they seem to be a good deal and the individual selling them is legit...

Love the look of your truck, by the way!
