Had to redo the accuair in the front for the pancaked cross and porter built arms.Ryan had a great idea to use sand rail accessory clamps.

Any updates? Has he had any issues with the Ekstensive rear kit? I ordered one today and am looking forward to installing it. The truck looks great!

He drove the truck all last summer on weekends to a few shows with no issues with the back kit.(just make sure you set your pan hard bar up straight at their suggested ride height)

He is slow but sure getting it back together he is a bit further along than this now but here is the last pic I have of it.I am going to try and get the steering relocater plate made this weekend.

I will get a pic of its new lower stance as soon as I can.

Re: 77 Cheyenne swb air ride accuair
Pic of the truck back together.We ran in to an issue with the oil pan hitting the ground before the cross so he is getting a Milodon pan for it. It's quite a bit shorter and should workout great.So in this pic the font is about 1 inch from sitting .

I worried about this on mine as well (notched x-member w/an OE BBC 6qt deep pan). I swapped over a Milodon 5qt pan. Once the motor was dropped in place, it was about 1" above the bottom of the x-member scrubline.

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.

It's alive and running and he's putting miles on it so far so good said it drives nice sits on the side tanks and bolts for the trans cross.The Milodon pan worked out great he also put on patriot chevell headers 3 in to spin tech mufflers.Next is to finish the bed.
