Progress pics of a customers '63 Chevy truck.

sweet. and your avatar scares me just a little bit. no clown stuff on the truck, right?

 

Ok, should have some links and driveline hoop on tomorrow night. Get started on the tri link and bridge also. Wrap this puppy up soon. I will have a complete break down of everything pretty soon.

 

Ok, got to damn burnt out and left early. No sleep last night long story. Anyhow some what of an idea.

 

Update.

 

Wow that thing is going to be layed out!

 

i'm new to air ride stuff. where do the bags or shock-waves go

 

Wow, That crazy. I love it.

 

will it still go up and down with all that fancy bent pipe?

 

Looks good, That truck is gonna be bad ass. Is it going to have a panhard bar on that rear end? You might get some movement the way the top link is set up.I didn't see one in the pics.

 

Lil' John said it best....'GIT LOOOOOOOOOOOW'. Yeah,yeah,yeah, hu-whaaaaaaat?

Lookin good man. Take any outta the cab yet?

 

oh, i see now. is that pipe going to be storng enough? like i said i new to this kind-of setup

 

Nice looking work!

 

...And you were worried about the frame rails looking too space age... Good looking work. I'm always impressed by the fabrication it takes to do the air bag / ride thing.

 

That's what I was thinking....

Nice work, it's almost a shame to hide it all with a bed.

 

Here some update pics from last week.





That unibar, holds the bracket for the air tank and compressors. Its had some added tubing since then.

 

Just had to share this with ya'll. Most of you probably won't care but here it goes....

It was a blast to drive, its a very good customer of mine.

 

Dang, you lucky bastard!

 

These are pics from Friday night. I forgot to snap some pics Saturday. Rear is fully installed now.

 

ZOOK -- wheres the truck at? any closer?

 

I haven't been able to keep up on pics... The finished product should be complete towards the end of this following week. I will try to remember to post some pics soon.

 

I liked the first setup better... I don't know where you guys figured this one is "more traditional" looking??

 

Ok battery was running low the camera(like always),but this is what I got.







Thats all she wrote. I was fixing someone else's boo boo.

 

Stay tuned this ride will be done by the end of next week.

 

this build looks real good, what are you using to bend all that tubing? im asuming its all 2" .180 DOM?

what wheels and tires you plan to run? goin to 5 lug?

 

Very nice work

 

Due to the fact that this truck won't be seeing any crazy amount of horse power and mainly a street truck (no racing, or any extreme stuff). I used 1 5/8" .188 wall CRS. Works good no issues, I mainly use CRS for air ride work on less the unit will be towing a lot of weight or another extreme duty. Plus DOM is crazy expensive (I'm sure you know).

 

Oh yea, about the wheels 27" over all diameter for now. 5 lug front six lug back (bazooka, will be purchasing new wheels and five lug axles later). Why Indawaitinroom?

 

Thanks.

 

very nice truck build
