Re: 1949 Chevy with S10 swap. Beginner build with ambition!

yeah ride tech kit only because I got it for dirt cheap and didn't have electric in my garage at the point of the build. I'v based a link setup Im doing on my 51' very similar to this kit. Its pretty good ride IMO. Yeah my 1x1 frame will slide out of bed, I don't like welding anything to bedsides if I don't need to. I also make the bedwood slide out on its own too. Makes for easy access when needing to work under truck and trust me you WILL be working on something back there. I had to replace a sending unit on air tank and put new leader hoses on my compressors in the short time I had truck. Yes I ran 1" spacers in rear I think, and its a 4x4 blazer axle. I cut bed sides only to clear the calipers and the bed is mounted about 3-4" off frame, if you look closely you can see the tubing I welded to frame and the bed xmember bolts to that tubing.
