Hey guys/gals-
I've been talking about doing air bags on his 69 C10 on the board on a few posts, and I wanted to show the progress we have been getting. We are trying to get this truck as low as possible, but there's a problem with the front x-mbr. It actually sits lower than the frame on these years trucks. So, we got a kit that notched the x-mbr to recess it up into the frame 1.5". It was supposed to be a simple mod that did not effect anything else, but that was not the case. We ended up having troubles getting the steering linkages to work, so we switched to a rack and pinion. Not the worst set back in the world, but did at the time since the budget was tight. The front end is pretty much done now, and here's what it looks like! Just wanted to know what you guys think...
Mock up.
After clean up and install.
Front Side view to get an idea of how low it is.
Rear side view
Suspension peices.
