Awsome build!!!! Do you have any information on the roll down rear window? I have an 87 Suburban that I'm wanting to use the rear window in my 68. Did you use something like that? Thanks for the help. Scott

I would like to know too. I have been thinking about using one from a newer tundra. I'm just not sure how I can make it work, and this one looks great!

I used a regulator from a mid 80's suburban. I had to fab up a bracket to mount the regulator and I bought some small c-channel and welded it in after I cut out the pinch weld. I had to get a custom piece of glass cut b/c the glass needs to be larger in order to fit in the c-channel.

Yea I built this out of some left over parts I had. A friend of mine through the bag away and the piston is from an old 454 I have, The bag bracket is off of a truck I redid the suspension on and the part that holds the can is left over from my 5" exhaust. I also bagged my motorcycle trailer.

68 short step · 12-16-2010, 06:32 PM

how did you do that trailer, cantilever??

Thealien · 12-16-2010, 07:48 PM

Could you post detailed pics or drawings? I would love to build something similar.

Jacfourteen · 12-16-2010, 09:00 PM

I had thought of doing something similar to bag a trailer, I don't think mine would have turned out that cool though. Bet its alot nicer than using ramps.

19seventeeCustom · 12-16-2010, 09:22 PM

killer build man, thanks for the pics!!

bigsnookmaster · 12-17-2010, 08:25 AM

The truck"s not my style, but it is a beautiful piece! I really like, and appreciate the custom fab work. Very nice! You should market and produce those trailers! Those would sell real easy!

I have no drawings they got erased when I swept the floor. I set up the axles like a single sided swing arm on a motorcycle and put the bags in front. The frame is the air tank and the power for the compressor comes from the RV plug on your truck. This was just a proto type and the only one I have built like this. It would be very expensive to have one built because of all the metal (aluminum diamond plate) plus all the air-ride hardware and compressor. The gauges are on the tongue mounted in an old set of harley davidson pipes.
