Tonight we have a lot accomplished on the 1955 Chevy Belair. In order to install the ridetech kit and get the 55 belair slammed to the ground we needed to cut off some of the stock parts on the frame. I also wanted to remove the old leave spring mounts and transmission mounts to make way for the ls swap I am doing. I will be running a 4l80e transmission and 6.0L Ls engine. I took the frame to 417 motorsports to have the brackets welded to the rear end and frame. I also had them close up some of the frame to make it look a little nicer. This trifive is going to look and sound amazing when we are finished. I am excited to keep adding parts as we go. If you are looking to put air ride on your trifive or 1955 Chevrolet Belair you need to watch this video. The parts are not a perfect fit but definitely make this easy to do in a home shop or garage. Hit the Comments and let me know what you think.......

Looking good my friend real nice l wish you well ,thank you for sharing my brother .
Thank you
Don’t forget about running your air lines for the air ride.
Buy some “made 4 you” “T-clamps” and drill and tap the frame for all your fasteners that hold all your brake lines and fuel lines also.
That is the plan on lines
This is exciting to watch, looking forward to more videos! Thanks for sharing!
It is exciting to do too
Very nice, doing a great job.
Thank you
@@TWAMotorsports Are you familiar with Max Jax? It would work great in your new shop, lifting car bodies would be breeze.
I am. Gonna put a 2 post in eventually
Nice work.Harder than I though
Thank you. Definitely more than normal work.
Looks like some great progress!
Thank you
Love the progress. Your kind of the Guinea pig for my project. I’m probably going to run the same setup. I’m ready for the next vids. Thanks
Thank you. Lots more to come
Good job on frame prep, 417 Motorsports welding looks great!! Looking forward to the next video on this major project. ✌🏻
Thank you. Yes they do a great job
Leaf Springs are for sway and carry capacity air ride on a heavy car is a no no bad idea and drum breaks are the best at rear and original differential is made in the USA with quality gears and timken bearings and race
Good thing you don't have to drive this future turd
Also the oil pan change is needed for the steering to clear
I said we would be changing in the video
this is one hell of a project bud, keep up the good work.
Thank you
Why not use the C5 corvette fuel filter and regular? Then you would only need to run 1 fuel line.
I’ve heard they have a pretty high failure rate and if you use more than a 350lph fuel pump it will overwhelm it. That’s just what I’ve heard though, not experience.
It won't handle the pressure I will be throwing at it.
Bingo
Came a long way from the disappointment of cracked frame.
That's for sure
You’re going to have to cut the tunnel in order for the transmission to fit and also the oil pan will need to be changed
No on transmission. Yes on oil pan, which I stated
@@TWAMotorsports Love what you’re doing keeping going. Waiting for the end results.
Thank you
Use a 4 or 5ah batteries it does pretty good! My newest Dewalt is a 3/8 ratche i highly recommend it. Been great so fart
They do better. That's for sure.
I was trying to see if you noted the frame partial VIN, somewhere around the drivers seat frame mounts. Enjoying your work :>)-
I haven't
Great Video, Im doing the same thing on a 57 right now, so it was great to see your video, just curious what width did you go with on your 9 inch diff, axle face to axle face
Its a stock replacement width
The frame says don't screw with old quality build your Owen frame and see if it fits the body
Not sure what you are saying here
Holley makes some good oil pans. I have one on my Chevelle that’s nice and snug.
I may do one of them. Still measuring
@@TWAMotorsports Go with the high clearance Moroso from BRP and use their headers.
I probably will
Is the 4l80 going to fit in the transmission tunnel or are you going to have to modify that? Awesome project.
Thank you. It fits without modification
Good progress Travis. Missing parts or hardware. Really? Vendors, quality control? Somebody's job to count the pieces.
It happens. They next day aired replacements
just bought a 57 chevy hardtop wanting to about same thing to mine but my cars in way worse shape so gonna b on more of a budget deal u mind sharing rear end with u put in with the air ride?
Its a quick time performance rear end and it wasn't cheap
I'm sure it wasn't I've never had one but heard great yhings about them you by chance know what width it is
@guybenning6909 stock width
OK. thank you!
@guybenning6909 you're welcome
What happen with the white tahoe?
Sold a long time ago
Your trans crossmember is upside down. Hopefully he didn't set pinion angle with it that way. Just finished my LS3 TR6060 with BRP mounts in my 57 Chevrolet.
After measuring pinion angle this was the the correct way to mount it.
@@TWAMotorsports Curious what did you set it too?
3 degrees
Ever miss the RS7 ?
Just the look
Got shock wave on the front bags on the rear .. trick set up ..
Thank you. Technically they are both shock waves
