Eric that's an under statement coming from you. Just to let you guys know Eric's tallents were a big help in the rear suspension design. My sick brain and his mad computer skills !!!! THANKS E-dog

Sooo sweet I tell you. I have a 68 and wanted this body style. Something ironic is I looked for this body style for 2 years(a good one anyway) and right after I found my 68 I found a perfect 66. Too late by then because I had already spent my money and would be too much of a hassle to sell the 68 just to get the 66. Anyway...........more pics please. You know how much we all love pics!! :hail: :hail:

Dood !!! You would poo your pants at how perfect this body is. I know these trucks like the back of my hand and when we blasted it I could'nt beleive what I found. These trucks are natorious for rust. This thing is perfect.

Here's the rendering I forgot to post.

Thanks to Carter Hickman

The rendering looks great. I really like the color :thumbsup: :cheers:

Perfect - Understated elegance!

Pound it! :hail:

are you going with a wide rear tire like your previous truck that you sold?

Here is one of the final revisions of the suspension set-up (with air-bag full) before Mr. Bent had the components fabbed:

Final rendering (with air-bag empty):

Fun stuff!!!!!

I started with the 3D CAD model supplied by Rodger of Ironworks Speed & Kustom. Rodger did a great model, which made it easy for me.

Very Nice!!! What upper ball joint did you use?

Your kinda handy with that design stuff:thumbsup:

Love it -- just one question -- does all the "swiveling" going on her end up being the same "one to one" action/stress that would be if the suspension was "normal"??

It was fun doing this one. Mark gave me a "problem statement" about laying the shock along the frame, forward of the rearend. The SolidWorks part was the fun part. I even have a short motion study video clip. I'll see if I can post it here.

Actually it is not one-to-one. Mark and I discussed the desired shock extension/compression dimensions and I calculated the arm lengths accordingly. Bottomline, you don't want the shock to work "more" that it would in its normal mounting operation.
