Re: 1972 C20 -Airride conversion-

The drives were good, I really didn't know what to expect.

But... I imagined it would be like floating on air , it's a lot stiffer than I thought it would be. (compared to my volkswagen I daily drive)

But than again... It's way smoother than the 3/4 ton leafsprings for sure.

Cornering is great, It doesn't hang in the corners like it did, probably mostly because the centre of gravity is way lower.

Also with this longer geared rear axle it drives way easier and smoother (I don't really know how to explain). Just the lower rpm makes a huge difference.
Plus my tacho used to read 15 mph higher than the actual speed, right now its pretty much dead on correct
Which makes me belive it doesn't have the original gearbox.
