    Just aquired a 49 chevy suburban carryall. I am wanting to air ride it. Just curious if anyone else has theres bagged and would mind showing me some pics so I can get some ideas of how to do mine. I mainly just want to see the rear pics. The front already has a mustang II so I am just gonna use shockwaves for the front on it. Just want some ideas for the rear. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

    If you're wanting to see rear frame and suspension pictures, mine is hardly a good example. S10 frame and crappy two link set up, not really HAMB friendly and not exactly well done (I plan to re-do it).

    Man, I have changed from one thing to the next trying to find the best way to go at it. Most of that driver side was done with 40 grit sanding pads on an orbital sander, but they don't to squat on the pitted sections. I traded over to a wire cup brush on an angle grinder that seems to be doing wonders on the roof. Vinegar and the occasional Rust Cure seem to handle the pits pretty well.

    Here's the driver side before I really got going:
