4.5/6 ECE drop
20x8.5 front
20x10 rear

This was a decent amount of work for your at home no lift shade tree mechanic. The parts from ECE were top notch but every single stock 40 y/o part fought me from the word go...lol

I couldn't be happier with the stance....

BB72CHEVKT · 09-20-2010, 01:40 PM

What an amazing difference. I can not wait to get mine installed.

MAK191 · 09-20-2010, 01:46 PM

Thanks to 72 blackbeautys advice. I pretty much mirrored his off set and tire choice.

yes sir....

Seem there not super easy to find at least in CA. I called my guy and he said the warehouse was real low. I was still a tad torn but pulled the trigger based on your reccomendation.

They look perfect and the tread pattern is cool

I got all 4 mount/balance for $730 otd. Seemed like a decent deal

The stance and wheels changed your truck completely.
What brand wheels are those?

**GR8-68** · 09-21-2010, 06:29 AM

looks great

BossHogg69 · 09-21-2010, 11:55 AM

I'm not usually much on yellow trucks, but that looks KILLER!!

1000% improvement over the old school 80's look you were sporting in the before pics. I have the same 4.5/6 for my (soon to be rolling) chassis, and I hope it looks as good when I'm finished. Well done!

lol...yeah the old school wheels were killing me.

Funny you say that about the yellow. I basically bought the cleanest truck I could find. Color didnt matter because I knew it would get paint in the future. Now that I have had her for a while I really like the yellow with the wheels and white roof. Whats even stranger is I typically hate side molding and now with the drop it all kind of works together.

I imagine I will keep her yellow with new trim. Maybe paint under the trim white to match teh roof?

For sure the badging,antenna,stake holes are getting shaved when the time comes.

very well done. I had not heard of ECC before but thanks to this thread have ordered the items that I needed to do my static drop. Thanks and great job on your truck.
