No Jon, I don't need another bag, at least not the stock bag. Just doing some relative pressure comparisons with different diameter bags. Trying to decide what bag to use on the Harrison system I got. Thanks anyway. Just need to know what stock bag diameter is.

Larry,
Just got back from AZ last night, 4 days and 3 nights of adventure to get home.

I used to have a Harrison rear system on the 77 GMC that we first owned and I researched these numbers from Leigh Harrison a number of years ago before he passed. I do have the part numbers for the rotors too. They are available and are not that costly and was easier to just replace them.

Now able to get to my parts and tech manuals.

The original Harrison air spring was a Firestone A01-760-0335 and is very hard to find. An acceptable replacement is a Firestone W21-760-7325. This bag is slightly larger that the original air spring but will fit.

I have also attached an album that show the Harrison system and a comparison of the Harrison rotor and the Cad rotor.

Larry,
If you go to: truckspring.com/products/Firestone-Double-Convoluted-Air-Spring-26C-Style-14-NPT_W21-760-7325.aspx You can find the tech and drawing for that air spring.
