This was the 56 Bel Air we had. It was a sleeper for sure! It was left all orignal outside and inside. Only adding AC and a blue tooth radio.

But underneath was a total different story. LT-1 motor out of a 96 SS Impala tuned with a 4l60 over drive. Headers with 3" S/S pipes all the way out back. Front power disc brakes up front. She would do 130 easy and still had more but I ran out of road. I drove it at Charlotte motor speedway at 100MPH around the track several laps.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
