Early Classic enterprises is the only people I recommend to buy a 4/6 kit from. www.earlyclassic.com

If you want sports car handling then go with the Hotchkis TVS kit, but for a driver/cruiser, ECE all the way.

No problem. I was glad to see more/larger pictures of that sharp truck and figured others might like to see them.

Great looking truck but it was way more than I wanted to spend on one just to take it all apart.

You can always cut 1.5 coils off your stock springs to achieve 3" drop. Did it on mine. Really easy to do and rides great!

Sweet, our stance and drop are very similar,
how we got there varies slightly though.

McGaughy's 2.5" Modular Spindle, 3" Coils (F)
Porterbuilt 2" Drop Trailing Arms, 5" Coils (R)

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

If I do 2.5 drop spindles on the front of a 64, do I have to do disc on the front and back or can I just run disc on the front and keep the drums out back? Seems like it wouldn't matter on the rear but I just wanted to ask to make sure. I'm shooting for a 5/7 drop...

Re: How about some pics of Static Dropped C-10's

You don't have to touch the back if you're only adding spindles. Disc's in back are typically done as a preference, not a necessity.
