Looks like a great find, when will it be ready to hit the road??

They are not related anyone bidding on the one in Kansas besides me?

Looks good. The more you talk about this truck makes me want to cry

What auction was they in? I would have bid on one

I guess I missed this so Happy Belated Birthday! I stopped by the bakery to pick you up a cake, but since I am a day late this is all they had left, hope you like it.

looks like it just laying on her side looking to get her belly scratched Seemed to have cleaned up nice

got some more pictures you can post?

Seems like it works, it all depends on cost if it is worth it. Watched some of the other chemical washes also, not sure it would work on the inside and if it did I am sure it would cost more to get the results you would want. Do you know any local producers to see what they do or if they can get a discount?

The guy that was selling it wanted to buy my KW I told him I would trade him for it even

Here is the link to the folks that custom fab the air ride on the "Gears" show truck https://kelderman.com/ If you are that serious about doing it, I would make a call to them and see if they can't give you some tips. The truck they lowered kept a solid front axel but it was cut and modified here is the link to "Gears" and you watch the episode video https://www.staceydavid.com/projects/19427/heavy-metal-2291

they look better than the pictures I sent you, not much room on the rollback for that superliner Glad it worked out.

My $.02 = whatever you do, don't start the project without the money/skills to do it. It looks like you have a decent straight truck and if chop it up and don't finish it no one is likely to want it and it will end up becoming a Wal-Mart bicycle. There was a truck that was posted on here from CL, I think from Ohio, that was chopped and railed and never finished the guy was asking a fair price for it to try and recoup his money, was on a 1.5 ton frame I think, anyways just something to keep in mind. Truck components like the engine & transmission in your truck are very heavy so with all the chopping and lowering on a stock frame you need to make sure the work is engineered right otherwise it is a rolling wreck just waiting to break or kill someone. After restoring and working on many trucks, it will be north of $30K to do what you want and do it right, even if you do most of the work yourself and have the equipment. This is not to discourage you but make you think about what you are getting into. Several of your posts said you wanted to pull a car trailer and add a flat bed. The way the truck is now you can drive it around, it will gain a lot of looks and if you did some small upgrades like stacks and some other accents it will be cool without a lot of money spent and you will be able to haul your trailer anytime with out having to wait to use the truck because it is scattered all over the shop waiting to get finished. Like I said, this is just my $.02 and something to ponder.

You might be able to buy one local for less money I added the ebay link so you could see one with the part number the valve should have instructions in it

Not sure what book you are using but this is from the Mack Service Manual If you read it will show you where the pointer should be and where to put one and how to mark the balancer.

I was wondering when you were going to post thoses new pups

For about the same money (by the time you buy the T and fittings) buy this and do it right. http://www.ebay.com/itm/R14-R14H-Replacement-Air-Brake-Relay-Valve-Horizontal-Ports-New-No-Core-103010P-/170774218041

Check out Stacy David (gears) website he has an international coe truck that they are building and it has air ride like you were talking about on the original frame.
