Interesting Airbag. Doesn't look like the picture I have seen of the single cone air bag.

Ebay Item number: 330485644133

A few other interesting features. (Top of the dash, mirrors, refer and floor.)

Oh, ok. I was told that Zeb was not the first to build this so it may be the one they saw and then built. Someone did a one bag sometime back. It was discussed here on the net back in the Spring. I did not look at it real hard so I am sure you are correct Gene.

As that link shows, there are a lot of creative owners out there, and they
are still coming up with new answers to GMC configurations.

I think some of these keep giving us new avenues to explore.

So how is the cotton?

and keep up your communications.
we need you and Teri TPSG ;>)

This solution scared me the most. Shocked

If either of those bolts broke or the spring itself failed, it could take your head off.(or someone elses)

yes, but what a great temporary fix. i like it better than the threaded rod which gives no suspension.

Is it just me or does it look like the spacers on the left are 2x4's?

One of them has a mark in the black paint that looks like a knot... Laughing
