Darren --
The last I knew, the air bellows were still made at the Noblesville, Indiana
Firestone/Bridgestone plant. I got a set directly from them almost 6 years
ago for $75 each. Picked 'em up on a trip to Indy.
I called to see of the plant manager is still there, and he has retired. No
one knew anything about them by the description and I didn't have the
original mfg part number.
Maybe there's a way to get something done if we have the right mfg part
number. That's all I know. I'll look at home to see if I wrote anything else
in my big book of GMC facts tonight.
