1970 SWB Lowering etc

[dagnabbitt]

I might actually be able to do this, this winter. Looking for thoughts on what kits to go with, though. I used ECE for my 81 SWB lowering, then they closed up shortly after that... I know that they have "joined Holley" but not sure if their products are available right now or not.

Truck is a stock height 1970 SWB Stepside with coils in the rear: I want to lower it 5/7 or thereabouts and while I am at it I might as well convert to discs in the front, and 5 lug too. The reason why I have held off so long is because of the "well as long as you are doing that you should..." factor of modifying these three things all at once.

In the rear I have yet to determine whether I have early or late '70 axle shafts, but I am not too worried about that.

So, checking to see who has done what to get this effect and what they bought to do it. I realize that this is a subject that is in other threads but we know that there are lots of changes and innovations and I am interested in what people did and would recommend not doing.

Pictured is my 81's stance which I love next to future low-70.
