Maybe another good buy. Talked to a distributor in the Elkhart area. Air
bags in sets of 2 with cones 1-25 $380.00 and over 25 $324.00 UPS included
any where in the US. The part number he quoted is 4503 and that is the
correct one. Hope fully it is true and 26 people want a set. If interested
send you name direct

Frank, Tried to send this to you at the personal add below but it came back.

Re. GMC air bags. if this Elkhart distributor is on the
up-and-up (and perhaps a GMCer in the area could drift by his place and poke
around a bit to confirm), put me down for a set of bags and cones. MAKE
SURE THESE ARE THE METAL CONES (my OEM plastics self-destructed and I don't
need that to happen again).

Thanks

The thing to do with a new or used air bag is inflate and test in water to
check for leaks.

Ten years ago I was working 7 days a week for General Motors. I am now
spending that money on the GMC.

moral is test the bag as sooon as you get it with light pressure to test for
leaks.
