I think those are bell tech's. I have a set on my 69. Ofcoarse it hasn't been on the road yet, but from the bounce test they behave just like the suspension on my 95 S-10 SS which has a ton of cornering power

I can't complain...I've got a set of 'em on my truck and they seem to work well...at first I thought they might be rather stiff, but then I rode in my friend's '69 with coils and Nitrodrops and his was smooth...it's just the leaf setup that makes mine so stiff.

I don't remember what I paid, I got mine as part of all of the stuff I ordered from Early Classic Enterprises over four years ago now...they've got nearly 25,000 miles on 'em now.

One thing to note is that ECE is now using KYBs, and those are probably what I'll go with whenever I need new shocks again...

I had them on my 74. Don't remember what I paid. I was pleased until recently when I found out they were blown. I have heard people talk about them being stiff butt they rode really well on mine.

I got a set of them to go on NEW project orange and they came from ECE I've had them a couple years I thanks they cost 25 or 30 bucks each. I sold a board member 2 front ones for 40 bucks.

those are belltechs cheaper (and crappy in my opinion) shocks. their nitro actives cost about $15 more each and are much better shocks than the nitro drops in my opinion

My ECE stuff came with KYBs but it hasn't been on the road yet either.
