not sure about the 63 but on the 67-72 you dont need an upper bag mount. it just bolts up to the frame.

**kev2809** · 10-04-2009, 05:02 PM

wouldnt that keep you about 1.5"(or whatever size the cup is) higher than without the cup?

Correct. These were made just tall enough to clear the airline fitting.

**kev2809** · 10-04-2009, 08:23 PM

ah, so that cup was made so the airline goes through the cup instead of inside the framerail?

Yes. It's bolts in through the original coil retaining-bolt hole in the frame & doesn't require drilling any other holes.

oh ok any pics of the truck?

Not w/those installed. Here's a pic w/o them on bags @ 30psi.....

Looking at the cup you made, could you have put the bag up against the chassis rail and the air pipe fitting inside the chassis rail and then et 1.5" lower ?

**kev2809** · 10-05-2009, 09:19 AM

yes, thats what im doing on mine. you can bolt the bag straight to the frame.
