    I was wondering....

    Is it possible to, or has anyone air bagged the stock front suspension on a 53 belair? Pull the coils and replace with bags? I know I could cut the coils, but why be normal. I dont want to go with mustang 2. Stock 235 and bags. What do ya think?

    Thanks, Fuzz

    fuzzyktu-Instead of just wondering, do some serious searching here before starting up a new thread. Lots of info posted on 50's Chevys suspension

    evil1 has a bagged 53 or 54 with stock bagged front suspension you may want to contact him. He's been bagging cars and trucks for a long time.

    I put a 1986 Jaguar front clip under my 50. Its easy to do, you get good brakes and power steering. I've also bagged it.
