wow just wow, those iowa salted winter roads show no mercy. I lived in West Union Iowa early 70's, my folks station wagon rear quarter panels both rusted out from the salted roads and fell off the car, it looks even worse under the hood. My dad left it in a gully on our farm, it literally rusted to nothing after a couple more years. Thats a real nice Chevelle worthy of saving, I hope your able to do a frame off and remove all that rust.
I know this was about 4 years ago but your not bottoming out because of your shocks is cause your piece of shit springs are clapped the fuck out AIRSHOCKS DO NOT make your car bounce like that they stiffing the ride a little an if you've ever rode in a vehicle with out shocks this is how bouncy your ride will be
Springs are definitely wore. The wheels also had a very negative offset making them stick out anyway. Car now has different wheels, no more spring spacers, and is tucking tire.
You should have gotten shocks for Malibu wagon with the coil springs on them .they are longer give you the lift you needed and a whole lot better ride used them many times on first gen camaros, firebirds and chevelles
That was such a pain job for me lol, couldn’t get the wrench on the top bolts to save my life 🤣 neighbor kids had to go inside from the language I was using to describe my old shocks
Nice Video, So what Air Shocks are you using? I've got a 1969 Chevelle with the same 275 50 15s on 15x10s Cragars and the wheel is to close to the outer this looks like a good reference
@@GSG834129 no idea to be honest this is a super old video. Have 15x10s 5.5 backspace with 275 60 15s now and don't even need air in the shocks. No rub. Could go to a 295 with room
Help i just place my check valve by my licenses plates.but My air check valve air coming out from inside the check valve what can be the problem 😢i.just installed my air shocks..im a Diy ,help,help
Heads up brother you can clearly see your address in this video. Just keeping your safety in mind. People are crazy. Keep up the great videos by the way.
Just use a piece of pipe to roll the inner wheel well. Air Shocks are out, they ride hard but if you must put the valve in the trunk out of the weather. Also the upper Shock Mounting spot best be strong or the Shock will blow a hole right into the trunk. You should have put new taller rear springs for a bigger lift, the rear, spring perches are much stronger then the rusty sheet metal your mounting them upper Air Shocks to.
Nice Vid my dude, I am working on my 71 El Camino and this is the perfect reference. I bough the same shocks and I am about ready to toss them on. My Elco had them on at one point but someone removed them. The metal air lines were left behind but unfortunately I could not find the proper fitting to work them in with this set so I am starting from scratch.

We don't live there anymore. All good lol
Maybe someone knows if you have leaf springs can you use sir shocks too lift your back end
Chevelles are coil spring cars. Still has air shocks on it!

A rear sway bar would help hour tire rub prob too. Thanks for the ride in your pu.👍
It definitely would. These were cheaper! 😂 And for sure!
@@NoL1m1tGarage I found one used for my elcamino for ten bucks . I've got a 68sb I need to build. Sweet toys👍
Great to see you are still kickin'. Good content as always. Maybe next year life will return to a norm or some sort!!
I hope so! Lots to come soon!
