Airkewld’s rear air ride components are extremely high quality and fit the 1967 chassis with very little modifications. It’s a really well-thought out design but installation is not for the fainthearted – the body absolutely must be removed to gain ample access from above.

The lower bag support links are made up of high quality parts and went together pretty quick.

The spring plates needed to be notched for extreme lowering potential. The Airkewld kit provides a template for cutting. I used a my Jet 16″ floor model bandsaw to do the cutting rather than a grinding wheel. This helped kept the dust levels down in the garage.

Here’s the basic lower link structure mocked up before work on the upper bag supports began.

The right-side upper bag support tacked in with the bag mocked up. This is starting to look pretty cool!

Left and right upper bag supports tack welded in. This is beefy!

Fully welded, primed, and ready for paint! (after the floors get welded in, of course)
