Re: '71 C30 Flatbed Budget Restomod

Been a while since the last update but the truck has gotten a much needed upgrade to the front suspension. I probably went into further than necessary but I'm pretty impressed with the cool factor seeing as this is my first air ride vehicle.

I went with OE style parts from a next gen truck save for the Airlift D2600 bags in place of coil springs. A 5 gallon tank was mounted under the bed and supplied by a reworked York compressor. There's still a few things to be buttoned up (gauges, tidying hoses/wire) but its come a ways since it was drug from the barn.

Also, just after pulling it out of the garage the ignition box failed so I built a standalone harness instead of going back the not-so-reliable MSD. I went with a DBW setup out of preference and threw on a TBSS intake to boot. Plan on getting a tune lined out here eventually.
