Re: MY build thread...

First off thanks for everyones comments. Now I am making the brackets to mount the valves for the rear ,need to find another union to weld into the bottom of the tank for drain valves and finish the rear. Its getting closer by the day. I can almost hear it rumble and smell the smoke from the tires when its done...AND even if I have a total air system failure I can still drive it to where I have to. A cigerette pack on its side will not fit under the front crossmember.

Re: MY build thread...

Well my power steering stuff came in just need the fittings for the box,fab a mount for the tank and either get a short waterpump or run some spacers. I havent decided yet but would like a new pump and some different pullies to go with.

Re: MY build thread...

Well got the powersteering pump mounted and the lines to the resivior run (need fitting for the box now???) Also put the bed back on it for the first time in almost two years its in its final place where it will stay... Heres the pics! Comments welcome!! And before you say it the bed isnt shimmed where the wood should be so its lines are off...

Re: MY build thread...

So why doesnt your bed line up. Looks like progress to me. You'll be driving soon. Bet you can wait to start doing the body work on that bed.

Thanks man. It is all air dropped with stock spindles. The reason its so low is I modded the lower control arms so I didnt have to run any cups on the front so the bag is bolted to the upper and lower plate. I couldnt tell you how much I have in the system because baggedout81 has given me a TON of stuff for the truck. Thats why his car is in my shop now. I guess if you look at it it probably cost me about 1800. By the time I bought my new welder and get the 220 drops in the shop to run it I am going to do A ton of welding on his car to make it how he wants it so we are kinda trading trades. He knows airride and I know welding fabrication so it works. We are trying to get both cars done and ready to roll by the time shows start rolling around. Thanks for checking it out.

Re: MY build thread...

Well no progress kinda stalled right now (weather) but I bought a new used 16 gallon fuel cell with a sending unit for $60. Now I need to get the other one out and install this one. And picked up some axle straps for it for $28 for 4.
