Bob, I believe the only source for an original style air bag is Cinnabar Engineering in Michigan or Applied GMC in California. They are no longer the original Firestone brand bag, but a Chinese replica. There are also a number of good aftermarket options, including the popular Sully Bag system from Todd Sullivan GMC Motorhome Products. You should be able to find Cinnabar, Sully and Applied easily on the net. My choice was the Sully bags.

Bob,

I have an original air bag that looks almost new, if you still need one.

Sorry, I just gave it to Jeff Sirum (Alex Sirum fame....) when I was getting some parts off him this past weekend.

What's an old but working air bag worth? I was thinking about upgrading mine to a single bag system from Sully so I'd have two available.

Define new please. Do you mean a totally unused 40+ year-old OEM Firestone airbag, or Cinnabar's knockoff made in India? The knockoff bags look pretty much the same, but they're not built as well as the OEM bags were.
