What happens when you want to bag a 1946

[NEWFISHER]

Thanks to all of you who have posted over the years here in the suspension section. Stance and ride quality are usually the top priority with all of us building trucks and I have gleemed a ton of info from all of you.

Im slowing gathering parts for my 46 burb and have almost all of the LS conversion pieces and now working on the suspension I thought I would keep a running log here on the set up to refer back too and to encourage some feedback if you see something I have missed. Heres a shot of what Im working with and a pic of my first attempt at fabbing a mild notch. I have always used 5 1/2" 1/4" wall pipe cut in half as a mild C but the burb wil need a few more inches and no one builds a pre made notch for a 46. Having " outer" fenders really limits how low I can go and it should drop another 9 inches from this pic when im done. Im planning on a triangulated 4 link or 64-71 trailing arms and a watts link both with conveluted bags. Ride height set at 6 at the frame ( boards are lower) with it dropping 4 to 5 inches to park. No one supports off the shelf items for the pre 47 stuff on the rear so Im fabbing the notch and either using a universal tri or the oe truck arms. I have both set ups and armed with a tape measure should be able to figure out what will work best while trying to retain as much interior floor as possible. I will have to cut the floor and move the seat arrangement. Having the tire stuff to the top of the outer fender will limit how low I can go and how much floor needs trimmed.
The front is getting a Full Tilt IFS kit manual rack bags and a sway bar treatment. I chose to run an Air lift V2 hand held display on this one just to avoid cutting up the already thin and narrow dash. Its amazing how much narrower these rigs are compared to the 47-54 and especially the 60-66 and up.
