Rat Rod 73-87's - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have 5 gallons and two Viair 380's and it's good for raising it to drive and dropping it when I park but if I was in to playing with it a lot I'd probably go with like 12 gallons and 4 480's or something along those lines, that's a lot more money though. Also you have to decide if speed matters to you, obviously the bigger the air line the faster air will move through it, so you have to figure out if want want to run 3/8" line or 1/2" inch. you can also go really cheap with manual valves and 1/4" line, it will take like 5 - 8 seconds to raise it from all the way down to all the way up, but it will save you a lot of money.

GMC Guy · 02-03-2011, 02:07 AM

here's one i saw at Goodguys

triophan · 02-03-2011, 02:30 AM

I don't know if having a $2500 air set up qualifies as "rat rod". But, far be it from me...

3r!c84 · 02-03-2011, 02:40 AM

rustynut5 what tail lights are thos? truck looks good

Hulk Will Smash · 02-03-2011, 01:55 PM

Wow surprised mine's not in here from the PO. Here you go...

I've made a few more changes to it since these photos, but haven't had a chance for more/better pics.

You guys are correct, it is the factory bumper, just flipped it up side down..

Thanks for the compliments
