Hello everyone. After introducing myself I want to share with you my adventure. This is my 53 when I bought it, but seemed in very good condition ..... was in need of a frame-off. Cab removing Frame...
Nice ! I see no rust anywhere , that's hard to find . It certainly didn't need a frame off resto but I'm pleased you're giving it one .
You are right Nate...I have mine priced as a renovation...a guy asked why it wasn't a Frame-off, I said it really doesn't need one yet! But...for the money I'm asking you could do one and come out alright. He really couldn't understand why he would do the work. Oh well!

Wow Hey Frank, looking fabulous, seems like you´re building your truck with great attention in details. Please keep the pictures coming, can´t wait, to see your truck slamed on the pavement
Nice truck. With those bags ran with "T" to each axle, you will want to run a thick sway bar front and rear to control body roll and air transfer. I had mine that way at first, it got exciting when hard cornering!
Linkage at the rearend and airtank ! Hey Frank I wanna ask you if the linkage is a standard solution or if you had to make it all , brackets and rods ect. is it posseble to show with a picture how you connected these rods at the opposite side ? I am intrested to know aswell wich air suspension solution you have choosen (what brand) tank and other parts ? Martinius.
Hi Martinius, I chose Zenith because I wanted it to be all chrome This: http://shop.air-zenith.com/dual-ob2prokit.aspx I decided to install 2 valves for rear and 2 for front. Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with English and I can not translate all that you write to me Tell me how I can help, I have many photos to send to you. Many thanks Frank
Hi Chebby, as I said before in another post unfortunately I'm not very familiar with English and I can not translate all that you write to me, sorry . What do you mean by sway bar front and rear? Please can you post pictures? Thank you so much Frank
Pictures of the rear end linkage wil do hey Frank I whas in Oslo today and saw your reply when i came home. I mean the brackets and the rods between the rearend and your crossover connection. Pictures will do offcourse. Thank you to Martinius.
