Hey guy's am looking for a sway bar for a 63' that I put air bag's on the rear. Will a standard sway bar fit with the air bag's ? Like the one's that you can get from an after market supplier?

I don't see why they wouldn't work w/bags, they mount to the trailing arms in front of the axle(at least the CPP that I have does), dunno if it would lower as much w/one though if you are into putting it on the ground.

Thanks for the kind words, I've gotten a bunch done since I last updated any pics-kids destroy digital cameras.

My 64 shortbed is driveable, has glass now, paint on bed/cab, front cap in epoxy primer but I drive it to work on nice days.

Stripping the paint from the burb is a monumental task.

Thanks "gazim" I'm sure it will be about as easy to install as the front one then. I like your truck,and the colors you chose. Did you do the flames? They look very good. How did you lower the truck?
