I will be taking out everything from the air control system including the elevel sensors harness compressor red block valves air tank everything but the bags which I'm re using. Nothing wrong with it just wanting a faster air up system with more capacity. All of this parts will be available for a fraction of the price.

Haven't heard much from ya. Cool about the Accuair. Just driving mine today. At alignment shop right now!!! I have the same Accuair setup you're goin to and it's so easy to figure out and operate I think I'm doing something wrong.

Oh no upside down.
You driven it much or played with the elevel much since it's been in? I'm curious how much difference there is in the brands.

I just realized that the picture is upside down.
Will edit.

Systems basically the same
Big difference is larger tank two compressors large diameter air lines.
Biggest change was the work on the back wheels and rear inner tubs which now is about a inch lower

big_al_71 · 11-13-2016, 03:53 PM

This is the parking lot slow cruising stance

**lolife99** · 11-13-2016, 04:25 PM

Looks perfect!
Did you machine the back side of the wheels to increase the backspacing?

Still looks killer al!

big_al_71 · 08-19-2020, 10:36 AM

About a month ago I took sylvester to the shop to address a small bubble I found on the drivers door and adjust the gap on the hood. Well of course it snow fell from there and other things are being done from shaving the mirrors stake holes on the bed. Here are some pictures of the progress

big_al_71 · 08-19-2020, 10:50 AM

Progress pictures
hopefully paint tomorrow

**Palf70Step** · 08-19-2020, 11:47 AM

Glad to see she is still about. Looking forward to the after paint pics!

**RRR18** · 08-19-2020, 11:51 AM

Miss seeing this truck on here.

1stchevy · 08-20-2020, 05:20 AM

Always one of my favorite C10’s

big_al_71 · 08-21-2020, 07:57 AM

Sylvester was shot last night. It looks really good cant wait to see it out in the sun once is wet sanded and buffed. A few more weeks as we are working on it after work and re assembling it.

big_al_71 · 08-21-2020, 07:58 AM

Some of you know and some may not but I did buy an OBS last month. I have gone over it and replaced some pieces. This is is my sith OBS in my lifetime.
