Anybody have suggestions for air ride for this project? Ive seen a few posts with guys on here going that route. The truck had and eby flat bed on it and I'm still undecided if I'm going to keep it. I'm planning on using this truck when I'm done. I haven't put new pair of springs order a one ton in years....I can only guess with what that cost will be.
The part in bold is what I was commenting about. An HO52 is a rear end. You said you swapped the HO52 with a dana 60 front. Then you say you found a guy with a military front and rear end. By military front end, do you mean chevy D60 and 14 bolt? Just trying to see what you have going on is all. Sounds like a cool build.
