Hey Guys!

As I'm reading this post the installation of the right rear, Ican certainly vouch for the"dirty"part of this job. I got started before I got any response from my inquiry. Anyway, it brings back memories of changing the rearairsuspension bags two summers ago.It's all experience, I guess. Feels good to have three done. Left rear, tonight. They allhave 1981 and 1982 tags on them, soI feel better that they are new. Now I want to know what to do with theold rear's. Sure don't want to throw them away and get someone hurt trying to recycle them. Maybe the truckcenter takes them back.

I appreciate the comments on my post and please don't ask me to volunteer to do this job. Sheesh!Going to give them a haul to Florida starting Friday. Thanks, again!

Bruce they sell them long. I just thread a nut on then cut of the length with a portable band saw. file the first thread down and remove the nut.

Not sure if that is required on yours. You can just buy the diaphragm and use the old pot but I figured why fool around with something over 20 years old. Your #'s sound correct. BTW: This is one dirty job that I would never undertake myself. The fronts were not too hard but the rears are murder. You really need a pit.
