Sorry I didn't see that you did want some pics. Dans has all the parts on their website including the mounting brackets. If you need more pics let me know.

I apologize for being so tardy and forgetful in posting these pics @NightWind. I can email or text a video of how it operates if you like

@rank and @mslashbar
Thank you so much! Those will help a lot! Rank a video would be good, I'll send you my email in a pm if that's ok with you.
The rest of the story is I am putting on my 379 so there may be problems but I have a great fab shop and welder who will do what ever I need (for a price of course). Having said that I don't see the problem with retro fitting it to my truck. I will document it as we go and post pictures/ videos when we get done.
If ya'll think of any problems that I may run into please let me know.
Thanks again. -
Well I am getting ready to order everything to add this to my truck. I will post pictures and video as we go. Turning 65 made it harder to open the hood LOL.

@rank do you see anything special about the air cylinders?[/QUOTE]
yeah they're not like a standard pneumatic cylinder. the actuator rod that extends and retracts is telescopic similar to the hydraulic cylinder on a dump box.
how much did you pay for they cylinders? -
@rank I bought the entire kit from Dans/Dirks Shop I think it was about 1750.00 give or take for everything. The cylinders were the most expensive part,
Can you please send me a picture of the drivers side where the cylinders attach to the frame? Dan was saying the power steering gear box on mine might be in the way. I'd like to see exactly what he means.
Thanksrank Thanks this. -
