In the plumbing of my trailer air hoses, I have a double check valve feeding my trolley valve, so the side with the greater pressure will feed the valve. In the back of the truck, I put in a secondary double check valve to feed the trailer. This combines the foot valve and trolley valve, so the...

I was wondering if there are any wires just capped off to tap into, but thank you for the info.

Set the body on it today. Gotta put larger sleepers on to run hydraulics on top of the crossmembers. Then I can set it down and bolt it on.

I'm upgrading this truck to use it commercially. I have to install back up lights/ beeper, and there is a secondary brake light switch on the rear double check valve. Where is there a location to get power for these switches?

Got the suspension done. Gonna get longer torque rods, to center the springs on the hangers, after setting the height.

I've gotta raise up the rear, a bit. The suspension is from a 98 Pete single axle. Any international, Ford, Freightliner, etc. will work. Outboard springs are inherently more stable. Getting the ride height proper, is the issue. I will put the overload stops on after the body is mounted.

Got it bolted in today. Still need to hook up brakes, and build crossmembers.

I did not have to index the brakes, nor block up the springs. Everything bolted in with no clearance issues.

Strange. Only one pic came up three times.

Here is the rear suspension pics

Thanks, but I finally got a rear suspension this past week. I'm hoping to install it today

No updates, as of yet. Still searching for rear suspension parts. The last setup I was waiting a week for, is still at scrap yard. I have little tolerance for people who don't do what they say. I found another, but the owner wanted 300.00 for it with rotted crossmembers.

Let's try this.

Today I stripped my frame and got it ready for the new rear suspension. I scored one today for a hundred bucks. When they cut it out, I can strip it and install it in mine. I got pics, but have no idea how to post them.

I'm just trying to avoid unnecessary work. Plus outboard springs are more stable. That and I'm just cheap.

Well, so far it looks like any international, and Ford rear suspension will work. As far as the spring brakes go, it looks like nobody here knows. I will figure it out on my own, and inform this group how it will work.

I am bobbing a 923, and originally intended on using a front suspension, in the rear. To avoid indexing the brakes due to spring brake interference, using the under frame mounts; has anybody used side mount hangers? If so, what application were they?
