anyone seen update on this blue truck?

[redneckdds]

that tells me the brand... or are all air ride suspensions the same?

[hotrodhomi]

I thought you were asking how far it was lowered. You were not specific. Air ride has adjustable ride height.

My post was not incorrect. I went to Google.com and searched for "air ride suspension". The first return is Air Ride Suspension's website.

Add that with the "C" notch and you have his suspension.

It has dropped spindles in the front but it also has full air ride suspension also. I think it sits about 8" lower than my 68' when the bags are deflated.

Thanks again for the info on your truck, I too am interested in the BS on those rims. I assume the spindles would be either a 2" or 2.5" inch drop?


OFF TOPIC:

Now that I was made aware of my mistake.... which was a humble post, I can see that the only error on my part was prefacing that I may have overlooked the drop specs.... actually you are incorrect, as I read the link you provided AGAIN,

You overlooked it about 9 posts back. Here's a link:

Just trying to help, but everyone wants to make me out to be a butthole!!

[kxmotox247]

The spindles are 73-87 3" drop.

thanks for the info kxmotox247, just the stuff I was askin for!!!

[soala70]

kx thanks for all the info and your reply to my PM good luck with your car I think everyone would agree the 67' is untouchable.

[kxmotox247]

Thanks for the compliments everyone. The original owner should get the credit for putting it together though. It's unbelieveable how much that truck attracts attention.

[shifty]

Is the original owner a board member?

[kxmotox247]

He was at one time but I don't think he's been on here since I bought the truck. I think he was building a 59-60 Chevy wagon that sounded pretty cool.

I can't remember right off. I seem to remember Summit carrying a 2" for our trucks.

I think Belltech either made or still makes them.

Check the specs on this truck's spindles.

I contacted Kxmoto about these same details earlier this year and he was very nice to answer my PMs. This blue truck inspired my build, especially the rearend setup.

Kxmoto wasn't sure about the wheel measurements but I have done a little checking and estimate his front 18x8s are 4" BS, and the rears are 20x10s with the reverse rim option, BS about 3 or 4". 3" is the minimum BS for this wheel with the reverse rim.

Wheel info:

After deciding I wanted my truck's stance to duplicate this truck, I found and installed a narrow-ish Ford 9" in my truck which is 58.25" wide hub to hub. My 9" is 7.75 narrower than the stock 71 rear-end, and after a few careful measurements I have decided to go with the minimum 3" BS on the rear 20" Torque Thrusts.

I even bought a 68 front clip for my 71 to complete that look, but my truck will be torch red.

Installing a Camaro rear-end isn't a true bolt in, you have to cut off the leaf spring pads, set your pinion angle, and weld on the angled pads for the trailing arm C-10 suspension. About the same as I had to do with the 9" I used.

Send me some pictures sometime. I'd love to see it. I have a 68 chevy truck that'll end up looking pretty similar and it'll be orange/red in color.
