New '68 SWB owner!

[Purs]

I just bought a sweet little '68 C-10. It's not a show truck but I really like it. I didn't realize how much I missed having one of these trucks! My goals for the truck are to give it a good stance while maintaining a fairly stock appearance (15" rally's, etc...) be comfortable to drive, and run low 7's (or high 6's ) at our local 1/8th mile drag strip. I haven't had a truck for a few years so be patient with my ignorance. It seems that I've been reading for days and I'm more confused than ever. I want to start off by saying thanks to Tx Firefighter for the FAQ he did on the ECE drop kit, it helped me get a better understanding of what's going on. I'm thinking of getting the 2.5" spindles and disc brake 5 lug conversion for the front and some 4" springs for the rear. I know, most everyone likes to go more, but our streets are crappy here in my small town and I don't want to constantly worry about bottoming out. I've read many positive things about ECE's stuff, but I've had some local people tell me they prefer McGaughy's kits. I checked the websites and it looks like McGaughy's is around $200-$300 cheaper for the similar kits. Can someone tell me what I'm missing? Is ECE the way to go or not? I also can pick up all the disc brake stuff from a mid 80's pickup real cheap. Will that stuff work with the drop spindles or should I buy everything from one supplier? I'm confused. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

Hey TX, I bought this truck of a local Firefighter!
