Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB

Over the weekend I made some smooth panels to hide the factory holes on the inside of the fenders. Also it hides a wire loom on the drivers side as well...

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB

Here is the tank, valve, relay, compressor, etc set up...

It is a 5 gallon tank & brackets from Accuair. A valve block assembly by AirLift & a Viair compressor. Theres a plate mounted in front of the tank for the valves, relay, power junction block, a common ground point, etc.

Re: 1 Owner 1976 SWB

The rear set up is done using Ekstensive's 2 link bars & upper bag brackets.
Then a Thorbeck Bros panhard bar. We mounted it in front of the rear end since the blazer gas tank left no room for it in the rear.

Here is the finish product of a long weekend in the shop.

The bed floor is uncut & the truck still have the factory front inner fenders too.

Thanks again Low1Ton & RedRat for all the help!
