You have early spindles so no you cannot run those cylinders and shoes. What you should however be concerned about and unless the picture is confusing me but I see that one trailing arm is connected to only one spring plate  Way unsafe and not the way to lower a bus. Again

When I bought my bus it was sitting down on just the middle plates all the small ones were removed. because it twisted them so bad I had to source a new set because the twist in them would not allow the small ones to slide in (po saved mine too). Can you post more pics of your shorty. I usually don't care for them much but yours has sparked my interest.

If you are going to shorten one, the one door seems to be the way to go. They actually look pretty neat and not rediculous like the shorter version. Exciter had a pretty nice one that tpinthepack had back in the day.

I don't know what it is, I'm with sventinker, I dig your bus. Maybe it's the fake OG paint hiding the weld seam, that it's lowered, or what, but I like it and i'm not happy about that. I'd love to see the SO-42 z-bed, closet and table in there. That would be very cool.
AGH... I don't want to like it, but it looks cool.

Thanks, I really digged the look when I bought it. Something a little different . I'm trying to get it ready for the Kelly park show in April.
