I was looking on ebay for a passenger door for my truck and ran accross
this 65 f-100 that was bagged. It showed how he did the front it looks like it could have been lined up a little better and the fab is kinda rough but you can get the idea. It looks like his bag hits the ibeam when deflated i was worried about that so i had ordered 4 inch triple bellow bags for my front and after seeing this pic i am glad i did.(THIS PIC IS NOT MY WORK OR MY TRUCK)

I couldnt stand it so i went and got the tank installed this afternoon. I ordered a new kingpin kit and all the front steering parts this morning
so i will probably start tearing down the front tomorrow after it warms up.
Here is a pic of the tank installed.

I got busy this morning no more slacking. I got the front end all apart it wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be even the king pins werent to bad but i did have to heat them up.
I have all the parts to rebuild the front brakes and the new king pins will be here today
i just have to get new wheel bearings i thought they were good but they werent. Here are pics of what i got done today. I will probably have the lower bags mounts built by this weekend and it looks like the triple billow bags i have are the perfect size to bolt right to the upper spring perch.
