Well I opened up the Bendix Tru Flo 550 Gear driven air compressor (13 cfm) and it looked good inside.......

Also got the rear air bag mounts mocked up.... Enjoy....

Ideas
 

on that air comp flange crack, I would take a die grinder and groove out both sides and GMAW it! (wire feed weld) and then take thin cutt off wheel and smooth it out install a new gasket with sealer on both sides and your good to go!!

Oh, by the way Great build up!:jump::rocking::rocking:

Enjoy guys.... all done cept the shock mounts.....

I was really dissapointed in how the panhard bar came out.... but I had no choice but to accept the angle.... the bags/brackets prevented me from placing them elsewhere...... good thing this truck won't be going anywhere fast or cornering at Indy..... it sucks.... but nothing I can do........

Wow man, this is good stuff. Beautiful fabrication you have going on with this truck. I've considered doing a similar swap/setup on a 40s Power Wagon.

Nudge... Any progress since June? I know the summers are short up there...

Fantastic fabrication. Just beautiful.

awesome project, gotta love old iron with diesel power! the suspension is lookin real slick man, slammed as hell!! :rocking:

Looks awesome so-far, man.

Is it just this work computer, or are the first few pages' pictures X'd out?

Uh oh...... new toy......

maybe a 6 instead of a 4??????
