m915a1 air ride cab suspension conversion ways?

[akita91]

Does anyone think if i can turn front cab mounts into pivot points for rear mounts air suspension like in new trucks,how those modded trucks get air ride cab ?couldnt find a thing for 915
Is this possible to pull out all valves,harnesses and mount them on stand alone piece of steel attached to chassis to give height tolerance for cab movement or its not how its done ?

Gov tried that on the Allison M916s, was a pitiful outcome with the butterfly hood which is not designed to move up and down.

hmm,i think i can weld on that hood pivot and extra metal on sides to match it but it would make difference to get new front shocks(anyone know # number?) and install donvel axle suspension between springs and chassis.

I can post some pictures of the set up on my M 915 with air ride cab when I get back to florida in Nov. It seems to work well.
