Hi,

I'm searching for an air setup for the front of my 1952 Chevrolet deluxe, that can be installed withouth to many modifications. I know converting to a mustang 2 front end is the best solution, but it's a bit to expensive for me. I live in Belgium, euro and importing a mustang beam would be too expensive...
anyone has some idea's , or maybe installed front bags on a similar car ??

thnx for reading !!

any basic setup for air should work on your car...Let us know if you need a link for pics to get an idea of what the install should look like

yeah, any pics are welcome...I found out the rear is pretty easy (air over leaf) but the front gives some big problems. the front coils are in a quit small shaft and so fitting in a bag probably needs modifications to that shaft. So I'm trying to find people that ever did install bags on a Chevy deluxe, they should know .

well i bagged my 52 i will measure the cups i made on the stock front suspention.i don't have pics cuz this was like 6 years ago i have updated since then but here is what i can tellyou. you can only fit a 2500 bag in front and the front spring pocket will need to be trimmed you can remove anti-sway bar for better side to side action and cup will be bolted into the shock mount hole and the lower a arm just needs a plate welded to it and in the back i suggest not running bags over leafs the best way will be to bridge it and box that area of the frame where you bridge it. i ran stock wheels and tires,it was like 2 1/2 inches from the ground so you might want to give it a little step notch and you will need a triangulated 4 link i here is a pic of the back of my old set up note:the old thomas comps:

and i got pics of a guys 54 chevy bagged and 4 linked in the back that i can show you same frame and set up i ran 6 years ago








i have now a mustangII front x member and a custom frame and that guy has a mustang II also but i hope you get it
