I sure like your skills and imagination, you make it all seem so simple.LOL

I'm new to RRR and I just read your entire build! I will never look at custom trucks the same again! You have raised the bar so high that other radical customs pale in comparison. This truck is artistry in motion! Can't wait to see it on the road! I might have to come to a show you enter it in just to see it in person. Looking forward to future installments.

Thanks guys, I know I havent posted in a while, but from the time I have added rear disc brakes, got my cowel steering in, and ready to put my air management system for my air bags. I have to stop for a bit due to the fact that I am out of town on job for 12 weeks...... hope to get on the road in July

Thanks Curt

welcome back man... sorry to hear about your troubles... get in the garage.. crank up some music and grind/beat on some metal.. always seems to help me escape...

have you put any thought into what sort of air management system you are going to run? I havent put a whole lot.. but was leaning towards an engine driven compressor... any thoughts?

I am running a dual pack system from vair, its acually pretty small and can fill a 5 gallon tank I think in less than a min. Also you might want to think about if your running only one compresure and it goes out your pretty screwed.So how is you build comming along?

 

[earthman]

Odd that no one has commended the use of the Pontiac instead of the sbc.
I will step up and do that right now

 

[70_boosted]

i second the props for pontiac power! id follow the same suit but the turbo'd 400 is going into my 70 formula...so instead goes a TT I6

 

[BUSTEDKNUCKLE]

Air bags

Well I started working on it again, I had to make all the pumps and tank fit in a small area behind the cab and in front of the rear axel. I still have to run the air lines to the bags which should be interesting to say the least. I posted some picks hope it will show what I have going on.

like how you mounted everything in a nice package to the air tank, unless it came that way? i like how you mounted your gauge and switches panel to the column, had something similar brewing in my head for when i get the cab and brand new drivetrain all onto the frame. none the less, diggin the build.

The tank and pumps are seperate items, I welded brackets to the tank and then mounted the pumps. I am also using the new air block, it dosent require valves or swithes its a stand alone unit that dose both. This system is amazingly fast.....

[70_boosted]

looks good indeed. im going to go old fashion and just use 4 valves/switches with the dual compressor and 5gallon. though i still dont know if im going to go all 4 corner, axles, or what...
