I am thinking of bagging my ' 59 camino and I was wondering what kits, if any, are made for this application (I guess this would include all x-frame cars of similar era)? Also which compressor and valving would be best suited for my car and a ballpark price would be helpful (and like most " car people" I have more than one project on hand and am working within a budget). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

John,
I want one, those cars are BA.
Yes the suspension is just like any other full size chevy. Use our Cool Ride kits front and rear. The install is a piece of cake, fully bolt-on except for welding on the upper shock mount. You definitely need a 4 way compressor kit on that car. Our Ridepro kits will give you about a 6 sec rise time, if that is not fast enough you could step up to the Big Red valves. Total kit price with the RidePro 4 way compressor kit is right at $2000.
