The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop Bags! Bus or Semi

Hello all Im a new guy and 46 chevy coe is the center of my focus. I hope Im not out of line posting at this time I dont think I missed any thing that prevents me from starting a new topic but if I did I apologise and direct me to the correct area for intro and anything else I may have missed after being approved. My idea is this, I have no itention on removing my cab from my truck for a super duty pickup chassis but to keep everything as is except using air bags on the front axle with a custom track bar and links. Of course they will be extremely heavy.The bags in mind are from a bus like a city transporation bus that allows you to lift and lower the bus and carry a considerable amount of weight and in the rear a set of bags from a semi truck to maintain heavy load capacity. Again heavy track and link bars custom fabricated to center and prevent axle wrap. Purely for the points of being custom and being able to lay a big truck on its axles for show and use without changing it to a pickup. Is this just off my rocker or kind of interesting?

Hi and welcome to the bolt

Some may tell you outherwise buts its your truck and you sould do what ever you want.
I would be real carefull win bagging the front axle,
study lots of factory built air ride trucks to make sure its done right.
Also if you could find a medeum duty air ride U-Haul van it would more the right size for your truck

Thanks for the welcome and the info oldchevy46,
near me is a major uhaul center with for sale units and trashed units. I will definately have good look.

Try a tech advisor from Air lift co. think it is

Flip the front axle on top of the leaf springs and bag that baby, in the front. Do a frame kick up in the back and lay that monster! In california our mta buses are bagged for riders in wheelchairs!

Like your enthusiasm john romero my blood is boiling.
