Always get a 2nd opinion, especially if I am the source of the 1st opinion.

You got it finished just in time because my truck needs gas so I thought that maybe you could bring your truck over so that I could haul off a bunch of scrap metal, tree limbs and garbage to the dump.....

I, too, wish I could get even half as much in twice the time. It's a sweet looking ride, the paint is awesome.

sweet truck.... | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 40 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 40 | Thanks everyone!!!! The arbag suspension was very easy, I took the coil over shocks out of my mustang II suspension and replaced it with air bags ( they fit in perfect with no cutting and could be changed back.) I removed the leaf springs in the rear and installed a 4 link. I mounted the air bags to the frame and to the lower 4 link bar. Add a air tank, 6 valves, and 3 switches, some air lines to the bags and Wha La!!! | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 166 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2006 Posts: 166 | Nice project.
