Portland, Oregon area c-10 lowriders

Just schrader valves to get it going and a proper comp/tank/valves later.

I do have a couple schrader valves and plan to put them in with the bags once my upper plates show up if I haven't found another air source. I also already have a 5 gallon tank, I just don't have $200 for a compressor. I've been debating if I should just set it all up to my tank and fill the tank from the compressor at home until I can get a 12v comp. I'm guessing that would give me about enough air, if I left my house at ride height with a full tank, to drive somewhere and dump it then air it up once to make it back home. I really have no idea, that's a total guess, but at least that way I'd be able to enjoy more than just a better ride quality.

I ran my truck that way all last summer. Just fill and go. Have a few buddies lift up on the front and it'll inflate with less pressure too.

[Ru5tyNut5]

was my guess pretty close? could you only dump your bags when you were somewhere that had air? it's looking like my wife may let me get a compressor after christmas so I may not have to worry about it anyhow, I probably won't have my notch done by then so I'll probably still be waiting on my notch after I finally get my compressor and rear bags.

Hey guys! I had my 66 at Rod Run! I didnt put it in the show but drove it down there from Puyallup!

[Ru5tyNut5]

OK, should have the front half bagged next weekend, I have everything now I think minus a fitting or 2 maybe so +1/2 bagged NW trucks. Not 100% sure which route to take with the rear yet but it will be done before summer for sure.

Anybody else tired of the weather yet? Killing the truck plans.

[Ru5tyNut5]

yea, it sucks cuz it's always too dark to work on the truck when I get home and it's too rainy on the weekends. I need a shop with great lighting and a bunch of tools to fill it with.

I am working on a vacation shack out in Ocean Shores and drive by Satsop area twice a week (Fri and Sun). Sounds like it would be a fun place to gather. I would definately be interested in making it to a gathering!

[Ru5tyNut5]

well, I would have to recommend that nobody deals with "The Drop Shop", he still owes me the upper mounting plates for my front bags which were paid for in November that i mentioned earlier in this thread. He keeps giving me BS excuses why he doesn't have them yet but I'm done trying. I ordered another set online around christmas time and got them in like 3 days and this douchebag still hasn't got me the ones he owes me and it's been 3 months. He will take any apportunity to rip you off so I would save the trip there and call one of the many other shops around that are run by honest people.

I've heard the same about that place. Sorry to hear that. I'm up for a get-together in the spring. I'll have to roll the 64 which is not much to look at but a hell of a work-horse. She'll get her turn one day...

[Corts60]

I'm down with a get together also. My truck's been put away for the winter season and it's getting about time to dust her off and start driving again.

[JRBECK64]

I see the sun Poking its head out. Think I am going to go take the 64 For a short spin to see if I can find anymore bugs. Hopefully the horns wont start blowing again.
