Pictures of rear custom air ride set ups
Hello all,

I am looking for ideas for custom rear set ups. You may ask "Why custom and not just go with Poterbuilt?" (I really love those kits) Well because before I knew about them I had a shop do the rear end and they messed it up and are no longer in business. A Porterbuilt rear will not bolt on to my rear frame. The shop I talked to said it would be much easier to just chop off the rear and start over.

Im looking for ideas with open bed floors, closed bridged floors and raised flat floors with the bridge underneath it. Mild to Wild

For the front I am going to be using a Porterbuilt kit for that.

More pictures of inside the bed or of the frame the better. Thanks in advance.

That was done by a board member (infrequent visitor). He does the hard line plumbing for Nelson Racing Engines (Bent Custom & performance; Mark Bohlen).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Pictures of rear custom air ride set ups
Why not just buy a SWB frame for 500 bucks and go full porterbuilt gear?

Thats what I would do instead of "re back halfing" that thing. I think it would be way better and way cheaper in the long run.

I think I still want to keep my Long Bed! I want something custom in the back and Im going to do Poterbuilt up front.

There is a lot of talent in this place. Please keep the pics coming!
