Yes that is true. My cousin was Co of transportation Btl. He was the one that got me interested in these trucks. Hopefully I will be able to some more work on this one when Classes let out for the summer.

Hello car5858

From your posted pictures of the frame rails are those cross members solid or tubular aluminum and how are they actually jointed to the side rails?

Also what material did you use for the air bags? Is it functional OR cosmetic?

Keep them pictures coming.

Thanks Again

George

The cross members are milled from solid stock. Then the 4 top bolts hold the cross members in place. At the same time bolting the axle mounts in place. The air bag mounts also bolt into the rear frame cross member. The material was 3/4" square aluminum stock. (6061)
