what are you using for a compressor and valves and such?

Re: project "GOT BORED" 1988 1500 sportside
 

Right now, i just have a cheap tire compressor. Cheapest one Walmart had. I'm running manual valves, 1/4" line, with DOT compression fittings.

This is temporary for the front. When i install the rear, I'm gonna put the valves into the driver side door panel.

This is some of the junk waiting to go into the rear.

Forgot to say i have a 9 port 5gl tank behind the seat. It will get installed under the bed. I kinda jumped the gun on the install. I wanted to see it dropped. I should have just waited till i had all the parts. All this temporary install sure makes a weak looking build thread.:lol:

what bags are you running up front?

Re: project "GOT BORED" 1988 1500 sportside
 

Airlift Donimator 2600lb
I bought this http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=442745 and added paddle valves, gauges and fittings. I also changed it from rear brackets to a tank. So, just to summarize, I bought 4 bags,ft brackets, paddle valves, gauges, fittings, tank, and airline(50ft). I spent $617 shipped to my door. Later i had to get a few more fittings and grommets( to run airline into cab). I still need rear brackets, more airline(another 50ft), step notch and shock brackets to finnish the rear(and a link set up if i don't run leaf springs).

Thanks, It definitely made a difference. Night to day.

Re: project "GOT BORED" 1988 1500 sportside
 

Well it was a little hot today but I managed to get some work done on my notch. Pulled the bed. Then removed shackle and shock bolts so I could raise the rear end to mark everything. Also cut the metal for the notch. I know it doesn’t look or sound like much but it takes a while when your working alone.:lol:
