Thanks for the welcome.What do you have to trade?Thats cool your in Mesa.That would be cool to cruise some time.I have alot of work to do to.My trucks runs great.I'm installing a big cam.I already installed the hooker headers and the two chamber flowmasters.I put on an Edelbrock rpm intake and a 750 edelbrock carb.I'm going to build a 3 or 4 link.Not sure yet.I also want suicide doors.I'm thinking of "Z" the frame,for the body drop.That's cool your building your own frame.I would like to do that.I also have an engine driven compressor to install.Are you doing the bag thing also?Are you doing the work yourself?  later

Just playin with ya man! I'm up in the rust belt, a south/western truck sure would be nice here.

I started pickin up parts to bag my junk and to replace all the rusty crap. Been thinkin about taking a couple inches out of the floor as well. I'll think about it more After I get all the new tin welded on and the bags all set-up.

You usin a York?

Welcome from N.H.

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

Thanks for the welcome.I don't have a York.I think it is a borg/warner pump.I think it is off an older ford or something.My moms boyfriend was going to use it on his jeep.It's in perfect shape.That's cool another guy doing bags.I hope we all can give each other some help on the air bag thing. later
