How Cantilever Air Ride Suspension Works (Rat Rod Part 3)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ค. 2024
- In this video I finish designing the air ride suspension on the front of the 47 Ford rat rod. It's a cantilever set up that is all custom built for the truck. It didn't go as smooth as I would have liked on the first try, but its starting to take shape. I'll take the design I drew in CAD on the last video and try it out on the truck but, sometimes what looks good on screen doesn't translate to the real world. In the end, I'm happy with how it all works out.

This guy makes it look easy.
Fun to watch another man's vehicular vision becoming reality.
Hhhhmmm, I Like The Custom Side Mirror. I'll Keep Watching, God Bless.
I like the big block in that idea
Awesome video… thank you for sharing
I live in Pa, finding anything worth while here is next to impossible. Need to drag my car hauler down to Alabama next time I go visit family there (once gas prices drop again). Been wanting to do a rat rod all my life. Done plenty of the shiny cars, time for something old, rustic, cool lol
Yeah that would be the thing to do. The whole rat rod thing is so much less stressful than something shiny. In my opinion it makes it way more enjoyable!
Love it so far!!!
Coming along!
Very intrastine I'm watching how your doing your suspension compared to RAT ROD BOB he is building something similar but very diffrent he was explaining the Do's and Don'ts or why's and why not's on the suspension. Can't wait to see you get more done. I was thinking about building a small modle size car and work my way up. If I can build a small first then my helpers will know what my vision is, but it can always change as the build go's on.
Gonna look good👍
Looks good man!
Pretty sick man, love those back wheels
Nice!!!
That looks awesome, very cool build
Thanks 👍
Dope channel just subscribed 👌🏽 can’t wait until I learn to build a car like that
Thanks!!!
go to be one sweet ride
I'm a month ish away from starting a similar build. Great vid, Sub'd
Interesting that you chose to add tube shocks to the airbag...shocks. Why double up on the front suspension? Do you find the tubes add something the airbags didn't already have? Really enjoying the series. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Having said that, that International you found in the first episode still haunts my dreams. What a beauty that was! Wonder what "expensive" meant to the ol' guy who owned it?
Shocks and bags have two different functions. Maybe I should make a video about that 🤔
@@HardCoreFab - I'd certainly find it interesting.
Hey man. I just found your channel. I really like what you are doing. I have a 1954 Dodge Fargo that I am trying to restore. I subbed your channel so maybe we can help each other out. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
Keep up the good work its going to be cool
How do you get a title for it
First time making a comment. I have a suggestion for you: Check out Rat Rob Bob Builds. He is doing something really close to you you are trying to do with your front in, on his 47 Ford Rat Rod project.Like I said it is just a suggestion. I'm a recent subscriber, I like what I see so far. Can't wait for the next video.
Later Bart.
Thanks for commenting and following! Yeah I've seen rat rod bobs videos and I like the way his truck is looking.
Like good school
What size tube do you use and how do you know what gage of metal to use? Oh yeah, how do you find the angles for your frame?
1 3/4 .120 DOM is my go to tube. As for gage of metal and angles its a lot of experience.
Needed a third lug nut, lol, looks good!
You talked about a Cross member , did you think of a K beam or a double K ?? Love what your doing
I'm not a 100% sure I know what a K beam. Please school me and thanks for watching!
@@HardCoreFab Hi one beam go's across the frame then 2 beams go from the middle out and forward on a 45 degrees or 50 degrees what looks right to you , the trans or gearbox rear mount is just in front of the middle , I wish I could put up a photo , I put a double K in mine one faces forward and one faces backwards, O I know look at a 1936 to 39 ford frame . nice to talk to you mate.
Not sure if you went over this in any of your videos but I watched the whole series and I’m looking to do a similar setup on my build. Did you need to do anything like a pan hard bar on the front to stop side to side play or is it pretty stable as is?
Yes I did use a pan hard bar.
@@HardCoreFab thanks for the reply! Love the builds. Always looking forward to the updates.
It looks good but the side mirror does not look
I didn't like it at first either. The more I've looked at it it's starting to grow on me.
Personally I blame squirrels
