Re: 77lesabre 61 Stepside

Still waiting on the new CPP 63-70 drop spindles to show up, but Dave at Bonified Customs has been busy working on a few things that needed fixed.

The frame had a hole in it from the old steering system, so he welded in some new metal.

The top bag mount was 3/4" to far back so the bag was not sitting straight and causing it to compress at an angle. Sorry for the bad picture, but couldn't really get a good angle to show the issue clearly.

We are using Firestone bags instead of Slam Specialities or Air Lift Dominators which was causing the bags to rub on the lower arms.

Dave cut off the upper mounts and moved them forward to fix the angle issue and drilled new holes to center the bags on the lower control arms to fix the rubbing issue. This looks much better and should make the bags last must longer in the future!

This is just a pic of some cool things I have received this year to hang as decorations. Trucks will be painted or powder coated to match mine!
