Thanks to N2Billet who pointed me to this site...they have all kinds of cool stuff.
The collars are super cool for sure and allow a little adjustment for the stand off placement, Just tap them and thread in the ball mount and they are good to go...the fronts you have to shorten the ball stud a little so its flush on the inside but the rear is perfect. These are the part numbers if you have the Porterbuilt control arms and trailing arms. These are aluminum so I can polish them or anodize them if I want.

Part# 6436K74 2 Each Two-piece Clamp-on Shaft Collar, Aluminum, 1-1/4" Bore, 2-1/16" Od, 1/2" Width

Part # 6436K76 2 Each Two-piece Clamp-on Shaft Collar, Aluminum, 2" Bore, 3"outside Diameter, 11/16"width

Do you have any specs or pics of this counterunk hardware? I need to go figure this out and try to find a supplier in my area here.

thanks dude..

also.. love what you did with the tanks and compressors. looks great.

I found mine at my local lowes in their grade 8 section, they were black tapered allen bolts grade 8 and then bough a countersink bit to make it work which I found at my local hardware store. I made sure to use nylock nuts to go with. Just make sure you get a good bit that will match the diameter you need, i went thru 2 of them for 4 holes...lol I will try to get you pics of the bolts.

[belowme51]

what do you guys think about the intro saltsters? 22's fr and rr. full offset rear??

[slick copper]

Nice build you got going. Clean install on the air setup. So you keeping the body the silver/charcoal color?

[belowme51]

the truck will actually be a rootbeer brown with a bright white. oe color placement but something a lill different. BMW produces the Rootbeer color and HOK has the white I want if I ever get to that stage....I think that color combo with all the factory chrome and trim anodized black or powdercoated satin black will look perfect with the Intros and the gray centers. full offset 22x10 rear wheels(narrowed the rear 2" each side already) and the the lowest offset 22x8.5 in the front. 245/30/22 and 295/25/22's....Mikes Slosh Tubz for the front fenders to finish the engine bay off. OE Hugger orange 350sb with a color matched trans. Lokar shifter with LED shift indicator all anodized or powdercoated satin black. All red OE interior with Satin black accents. Should come together nicely.

any way to get a 90 off the line from the compresser to the tanks? otherwise everything looks very well done...

[67cheby]

love everything about that description !! spec the SLOSH TUBZ

i imagine your talking about a 90 coming off of the check valve at the compressors? if so Im already ahead of you, I had to have them special ordered in the nickle finish with the same flare ends and threads....AZ uses a specialty high performance fitting for those connections....a standard fitting would leak. but yes I ordered them after I realized the possibility of a kink down the road hindering the compressors abilitys.

[kyle87]

seems we're on the same page. was worried about the longevity of those lines, but you got that nipped. again good work

[belowme51]

thanks Kyle. I just cant wait to get all that stuff tied up in the rear so I can move on to the rear end and drive line...Im waiting on my Made4U clamp kits to show up so I can secure everything along with some braided wire looms to tidy up the exposed wires. If all goes as planned I will be able to access all of the air management from the bed. Im still waiting on my batter box and cover too. Lots of little things here and there to make it nice and reliable.

ok its been a minute so here is a lill progress, and a couple of questions. Here is the rear elevel sensors done with the collar shafts and the 2" standoffs that I used. they may stay the same color or may get powdercoated to match when I send out some other things for p.c.
My question is first I have my trailing arm kit installted to the "t" per the instructions but after installing the bags I notice that with the 265/35/22's on it and layd out the frame is not on the ground....I knows its either the bags becuase they only go to 4.5" whend aird out do I need a different bag? do I need to make the bridge mounts a little more oval to adjust the bridge up to gain the little bit, is there a bag that will air out further? Its supposed to lay frame with 31" tire and mine are smaller than that for sure. There is a bunch of changes that can be made with mounting points too...any suggestions? I still have about 2" before the axle gets to the top of the bridge so I know I have room. All else fails I can always run like a 28" tire and that will fix it too. Its set up to run 245/30/22fr and 295/25/22 rr. My next question is on my spindles I have no clue what brand they are or what drop they are and was hopeing someone knew....they say GM-T on the back and thats it....they look like 2.5 but I dont know. so here are the pics of that.Thanks for the support everyone.....ideas are welcome...

[kyle87]

lol, now i can stop taking ambien! but really though this is going to be a respectable truck here pretty soon

[belowme51]

lol thanks kyle.

[belowme51]

ok guys need a lill help here I have a commitment on a wheel right now but keep changing my mind.....if you could have any 5 lug billet wheel what would it be? the truck? money is no object here so fire away. 22/24's is what im set up for now but am willing to do 22's all the way around too....I dont want to let out the wheels I chose yet due to i might have a change of heart. I want one of all of them but can only have one lol.. Please help a brother out...my good friend threw some out there and mainly Schott modsport and octane. Raceline deceptive was the other. Please and thank you as this is a big choice for me and can really nail it...the truck will be similar to Mitch hendersons sema truck from last year 67-69 front clip and factory trim.

Are you looking for a late model high-tech feel? Or a retro-style look?

What color will the truck be?

[67cheby]

why not have someone "budnik" or someone else build you some custom one-off wheels
