Nice trucks, but hopefully not too much older then you.

Relax homie. Its not out of the norm to ask for pics, is it?

Trucks look like they have great potential, collecting parts is part of the fun. good luck and be patient. It will all come togeather for ya if you want it bad enough. I got over 5 years into my build and still aint done. lol.

I have only been collecting parts for about a year now so I'm not too far into this. The '67 will definitely cost more and take more time than the '84. I'm pretty sure the only parts I need are valves, fittings, compressors, air tank, fuel cell, switch box, gauges, and 2 bags.

Asking for pics IS normal. The repeatedly asking for them is a little much don't you think?

Hear Hear!!!

Got a set of 20s, not a bad start!

I was going to buy SMC 3/8" valves, but some people in this area were giving me lots of shit. They say I need to use GC 450 or 350 valves, but I've never even heard of them and have yet to read any good reviews on them. Which would be best? I don't want any that will lay it out too fast with it being my first truck.

i love smc

The main issue I've heard with SMC is that they can't handle as much pressure. They can handle like 150 and GC can handle up to like 450?

SMC can handle 200 all day. Doubt your going to build that c10 to hop so you should have no problem.

I'm definitely not trying to hop it! My ex, and basically all of ST-AR, ran GC and liked them, but I don't know anyone else that runs them. They're a little more expensive than SMC, too. Another thing I'm not sure about is how many valves I want. I'm thinking either 4 or 6?

You can run 2 on the rear and just t the bags. On the front its always good to have independent control on each side. never know when you may have a particularly hefty friend in the truck with you, Have to bump his side a bit LOL.

Lol so 6 will be plenty then. Still not sure about the whole SMC vs. GC thing though.

i run smc 1/2 inch in the front off my civic and i ran 200 psi on them for like a year and iv never had any problm with them' i run 175 now as it was to violnt on the car and i can still get it to hop of the ground on 175
why would you want to run any more thn 200 psi and 450 dam that is an over kill but thats just my thghts' i know some air tanks are only rated to 200 psi

I'm worried 1/2" will be too fast for me, so I know I want 3/8". SMC is probably what I'll end up buying since everyone here seems to like them. Only have one good opinion on the GC, so I'm just not sure they're worth the extra money.

all depnds what u want it to do at the end of the day i wantd mine to be fast when i first did it and now im not that kean on it bing that fast as its not good for the car
I think of the top of my head that when i put GC's in to a customers car 4 years ago i had to run relays to get them to work someone correct me if im wrong i dont have a very good memory

I would say 3/8 line should be fine I have 1/2 on the van and I hate how fast it goes up. Its a pain trying to just raise up a little while driving as fast as it is now. I would use 8 valves the first vehicle I had that had electric valves only had 4 and got a ton of bodyroll, not sure about running 6 valves never have so I have no opinion on it.

I bought 25' of 3/8" and 25' of 1/2" line a while back because I was unsure which I needed. And I figured six would be a good start so that if it rolls too much I can always add more valves, rather than buy 8 from the get go and not like it. I was going to buy electric compressors, too, and a shop I talked to told me I needed to use an engine driven. I've never cared for engine driven and only know one person that has one, and they told me not to use one. I'm looking at getting a dual pack of Viair 480s.

Engine driven is the way to go if your going to play with it alot, it airs up so much faster than anything else. With a set of 480s after you raise it up you gotta wait a few minutes to get pressure up high again to play with it. Ive run 480s on a bunch of vehicles, they're dependable and work well, just not to fast.

What are some good engine driven compressors?

York. a/c compressor from old 70's & some 80's Fords and some other various vehicles
