77 CC squarebody sfbd build thread..it rolls and runs

i may take you up on the 3x3.... is it .25 inch thick?

you got any pics of your truck? a body dropped 63 unibody ford is going to be sick as hell...

i got my end links welded up on my 2x3 link bars before it started raining today. i still need to clean them up and spray a coat of paint on them.

the ends links were bought from sucidedoors.com . i got 4 of them. 2 for the link bars. 2 for the panhard bar...




i am using 2 paddle valves to get air to the bags. one for the front. one for the back.. this is a very cheap way to control air without having expensive electric valves... do they work? i have no idea. we will see..lol



brand new 4 inch U-bolts. 3 inch wide spring perches to attach the 2x3 link bars to the rear end...



a pic of my re7 front bags, 2500#rear bags, rear airbag mounts(top/bottom), panhard bar end links. and my 1/2 stainless steel leader hose for my edc...



these are my industrial exhaust mounts....lol
i also bought 2 10 ft sections of 3 inch exhaust tubing.



DAMIT! this truck is taking all my money...

the paddlevalves might work ok but i think you need at least one more and only lift the back 2 bags on one valve , its not wize to use one valve or connect the leftside to the right with a T connection as air will move from the right to the left and back in corners , you might get away with it of you connect the left rear to the right front bag and the other way around
if the padle valve has one airline in and two valved airline come out you might get away with it if the truck is the same weight left and right or if you mount regulators on each line to the bag so you can individually regulate the pressure to each bag to get the truck to level

the switch panel needs 1 airline that comes from the air tank. it has one airline per paddle valve that goes to the bags..

this setup is really just to get my truck off the ground (if and when i get it back together)..i have thought about the truck swaying side to side by t'ing the front or rear air bags together. i will probably buy another panel to separate all the bags from each other....

it uses 1/4 air line. hopefully it wont let the air move back and forwards as fast... the airline is super tiny...lol

i wish my truck was sfbd mine is traditonal and i have a 6 inch curb on the inside sucks ass

ouch....

dont feel bad dsfab. my c-notch is going to be a baby skyscraper. at least i can put a cover over my bed and forget about it...

hows your truck coming sparky

every time i go outside to work on it. it rains, or it is just to cold.

the forecast is supposed to get better in the next couple days .hopefully...

lol i hear that man.

The sun came out today! i got a few things done...

i pulled the cab off and put the engine/trans back in for like the 10th time....
threw the front clip back on just to get it out of the way..

im going to finish welding up the bottom of the floorboard today. i may weld up some of the holes in the firewall to if i have daylight left.







this is the 3.42 gear set for the dana70hd i picked up on ebay.....someday i will get over 50 miles an hour...
