What bags??

Getting ready to bag my 1949 Chevy. What bags does everybody recommend for reliability and ride quality?

Re: What bags??

Front end will be a Danforth front end which is engineered to accept metric components. I will be using S-10 donor components.

Rear end will be a Thunderbird IRS.

Cool truck about to get even cooler! I'm not sure on the bags, but I would consider finding front bags with an internal snubber.

Thanks.

Leaning towards Slam Specialties SS-7 after reading some reviews.

The front whatever the ifs is out of you can get bag mounts for easy.The ss-7 should be big enough depending the clearances but you can always notch stuff.The rear im not sure on how to bag it,You might get away with a set of bags off a lincoln mark 8 since it started a lot of stuff with the thunderbird and cougar.

Slams all the way around. Best bags around & if you have the cash run all brass fittings & hydraulic line instead of the cheap PTC fittings & plastic lines. Safer & more reliable, but more expensive of course.
