Welcome to the forum mate , where abouts in Perth are you located ??
Theres no bagged FB/EK's in Perth AFAIK , I bagged my '64 Chev and it was pretty straightforward - they have a 3 link rear suspension setup though.
Have a look at EKKOO1's post here :arrow: http://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2518

Welcome.

My FB isn't bagged (wish it was) but is still pretty low.

I live in Winthrop, which is close to Freo, so give us a wave if you see me cruising :)

Really?

At least it will always be known as "Blacky's Chev"

I want to tow an old Baravan behind my FB, any ideas on what model air bag I may be able to fit. My springs need resetting but have been told that maybe airbags would be enough. Any comments/thoughts? I put a pic on the Face Book page.

What size van ? If its a 15 you should get away with fitting some ute/van rear springs and maybe some anti sway bars ??? Probably best to get on the vintage caravan forum and see what the people on there are using - I am just guessing , best we use is a swag :lol: :lol: :lol:
