What company built our original air bags? Wasn't it Firestone?

If so, why couldn't they build exact duplicates upon demand?

> Mark G has posted measurement specs for his original design including a picture of the plate drawing. The Sullybilt system is similar with a few key changes in design. Info on the Sullybilt system can be found on my website. www.bdub.net/sully/ The spec sheet for the firestone spring is there as well. If you are searching for the spring, www.truckspring.com has them available.
> In speaking with engineers at Firestone I was informed that this spring is demand built meaning that they are not produced until an order is placed. They will tell you to expect to wait up to three weeks but I had mine in less than two. I like the idea of a fresh born airbag. Worth a little wait to me.
> I have stated in earlier e-mails on this forum that I approve of personal individual reproduction of my design for personal use. This is a hat tip to the weekend warrior shade tree fabricator as I consider myself one. If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
