The multi fuel engines are fine, with a little help they have plenty of power and will last a long time as long as you take care of them and don't red line them out. If it ain't broke don't fix it. More power will create more problems. If you have a blowen motor than it might be feasible to...
You have to move around and weld in about 1" lenghts. I used a brand new hardtop, but I found it was a little thinner than the old ones I have been chopping, but it was nice to have something straight to work with
64" At the back, remeber these cabs angle in 8" towards the front, but you will be fine, 60" wide is about as wide as you can go. Any pickup truck beanch seat will fit in them, Thanks Clinton
The PSC can should have a filter in it from NAPA, I am installing a whole new system just like it. They said not to mount the can no further than 16" away with there pump
I was thinking about some chain with welded links across the bottom, this way they don't get bent, they just fold up if you are offf road. I can drop the air off it lowering it down 5" so that will help to.

I have already 4 linked the rear, I am just putting a single axle under the back, I will post some pics later. The bags only give you about 1" of lift at ride height to give you a nice ride. I have lifted it an addtional 5" via blocking the bag plates up. So we should be sitting about 6" higher...
Here is an extra set of tanks I just put on the current truck we are building. It was a set from a 2.5 ton semi tractor. I am running full air suspension so I need the extra volume.
The donor cab was form a SS member who traded the truck in on another, we parted it out. He wanted me to take good care of it for him:wink:
I may send a pic to the VFD before and after they might get a kick out of it
