does anyone know of a full chassis set up for air?

[mtolli46]

i am building a 1972 c-10 long bed and i wanted to know if anyone makes a full frame for one?

[see ten]

It seems like Nathan Porter will build em...as well as a couple of other shops. Any particular reason you want a new chassis instead of just adding airride to the one you already have? Are you wanting to build your truck to lay out or do you just want the adjustability of bags?

Does anyone one make one specifically for a 72 LWB? I don't think so. Several companies will build you a custom chassis. Nathan Porter from Porterbuilt would be a good choice to talk with. Here one he built with C-4 Corvette suspension for a 68 SWB.

What do you consider a full frame? Some people consider using the stock front clip as a full frame which is why I ask. I know that Nate, Scott's Hot Rods and myself can build what I consider a full frame, building the front suspension and all. I'm even building some spindles for my truck right now.

well am i am building a 1972 c10 longbed and i want it to sit almost to the ground when all the ai is let out. SO i have seen a frame that can be ordered for my truck that has a 4 link and everything all on it. But if i cant find one i need to get a 4-link and something for the front. But what is the best way to go you guys think?

Take a look at the vendors that have been posted- www.scottshotrods.com, www.twistedminis.com, and www.porterbuiltstreetrods

These shops are VERY reputable and qualified to do what you want. They have extensive knowledge in designing frames with fixed or adjustable suspension.

That's a really broad question. But the best answer is this: The best way, is your way. What you want, is going to make you happy. What someone else wants, may not make you happy.

When designing a suspension system I always ask what kind of driver the owner is, what the plans are for the vehicle, where and how it will be driven, what kind of ride do you want, etc. There are so many variables when building a whole new frame.

yeah true true, well i am gonna build a truck i can drive on the street, so i think i am just gonna buy a 4-link for the rear and strongarms with drop spindles for the front and then the airride air system. is that a good set up?
