Re: 1972 C20 -Airride conversion-

I checked the pinionangle yesterday, and it's defenetely off...
Thanks to lolife99 for mentioning it. It would be a pain to redo when I welded it all the way. For now its all just tacked together, so it's not too bad to fix.


But for now an update...

Front suspention.
I cut out the rough shape for the top bagmount plates.


Cut out some circles:


After rolling some 40mm flat steel and tacking it together we end up with this


Cut some big holes in the lower control arms:


and tacked the cups in


Time for a test fit


Test fit with the bag


Looks good, welded it solid.
Mounted the spindel and drilled a hole for the airline to the bag.
wheels on and take a look at roughly ride hight



That is it for now again. Next update tomorrow 'ish'
