One of my 21 year old (it now can drink legally) rear airbags is looking rather crunchy, and being the preventive type I would rather replace proactively than have a situation on the road.

Does anyone have current Firestone (or other) part numbers for this 4 airbag chassis?

I've looked at the references on http://serenitysys.com/beaver/index.htm and called Firestone IP. Supposedly the rear suspension is Reyco 610AR (air spring 2077301) and front suspension is Reyco 510AR (air spring 2242501).

Called the Reyco dealer - special order and prices almost 3x Firestone similar airbag.

The installed rear airbag is a Firestone with a 1T15LP-2 bellows, 9545 piston (now obsolete, replaced with 9549), bead plate is 8-14" diameter with a single combo stud (mount and air) but don't have the part number.  W01-358-8959 appears closest, but the bead plate is 9" with a separate mounting stud and air fitting hole, looks like modification will be required for that one to fit.

Trying to avoid paying over $1000 extra to the Reyco dealer, without even being sure those are the exact match (non-returnable special order).

Thanks!

Firestone part number for the rears on 1996 Monterey/Magnum 4-bag system is W01-358-8959.
Got the best deal from RA Truck Spring http://rsleafspring.com/ $191.43 each in stock + $52 shipping to CA.
Easy install, just need 1/4" MPT brass plug (Lowe's or Home Depot) and thread sealant.
