Are certain years easier to bag?
Probably a stupid question but Im looking for a c10 and I really like the early 60's, but also the square bodies....
I plan to eventually do air ride, so I was curious if that should sway my decision at all....are there better kits/parts for one generation of truck than the other? Easier/less fab work? Does it matter? Thanks!

Re: Are certain years easier to bag?
63-72 Chevys (not GMC's though) are super easy to bag. You can do a simple kit in a weekend. You wont go very low but on those years you can bolt bags into where the springs are.
As I was writing this I forgot I posted one that me and a few buddies did in a day and a half. https://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vbo...d.php?t=771538

You wont get much lower than the pictures I posted without more significant work.
You can get an inch or two more in the front if you cup the arms. The rear can go an few inches lower with a step notch but your arms will hit the frame before you lay out.
