Project U S Army Sargent Slam
Decided to change direction on my truck. Found out it is a U S Army truck. My dad was an Army Veteran and he died 3 years ago from liver failure so I am going to dedicate this build to him. Here is the day I brought the Sargent home. Sitting on an S10 frame with awesome cragers.

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam
I am going to paint it flat army green. But I am going to change a few things. it's going to have chrome bumpers, chrome grill ,black 18 inch steel wheels with chrome center cap and beauty rings. It's also going to lay running boards with a bolt on ridetech system. since I am in a scooter. It's going to have an electric scooter lift in the bed.

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam
Bought these yesterday. They are 18 x 8s off a 2012 caprice police car with a 6 1/2 back space 5 on 4 3/4.what a steal at $65 each and since they where all spare tires.they look brand new. I ordered 2 inch spacers for it. So it will sit in the fender better.

Scored a bed today for $250 with a little surface rust where the fenders touch the side of the bed

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam
It took 9 hours and a run to the hardware store. But I got the rear bolt in ride tech system in. I was pretty disappointed in the instructions from ridetech and the kit was missing alot of nuts and bolts. Here's a pic of it air all the way up. It really has 10 inches of travel

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam
Side view of it lowered. Next is the front but i think that will take about 12 to 14 hours. Also bought some 18 inch beauty rings. Waiting on the spider caps to come.

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam
you will love the ride with the rear air bar setup. I see a lot of guys put their bags on bars and I have done it myself a couple times, but there is no need for 15-20-25 inches of lift in the rear, I never raised mine more than enough to drive. the truck I had my airbar on was hands down the best ride I ever had, sleeve bags ride amazing and handle more weight than most double convoluted bags. I have a whole air ride tech airbar setup including tube front arms here in the garage and its tempting to use on the 47 gmc, but probably will wait for my 46.

Re: Project U S Army Sargent Slam
I have never used this style bag in the rear. But the nice part about the airbar system I have seen so far is that you don't have to notch the frame. to have the running boards lay an inch off the ground. If I remove the bump stops I could lay running board. But if I did that and I ever blew a line or an air bag .I don't feel like dragging my running boards and bumpers till I stop or not be able to roll it out of the way.
