Lowered my 67'

finaly got the trucks lowered, i used all classic performer parts, thought i would do a mini write up with my experience w/them. They had the best price for a complete kit i found by about 100 bux, i ordered the kit, but was quoted 2 different prices on the phone.. and ended up having to pay the higher price ($30 dollars higher). One thing that annoyed me from the get go were the salesman on the phone, they acted like i shouldnt be calling and asking any questions, and sounds annoyed to answer anything i asked, one of the two people i talked to was pleasent, but the other was a plain dick. I was told the parts would be here in 10 buisness days, showed up in 7, so A+ there.. however they didnt include one piece of the "included" hardware.. none of the nuts/bolts/washers that come with the shock re-locate kit came, which made me quite angry because i live about 45 minutes away from a parts store.. besides that everything went super smooth, the truck rides 1000x better than it did on the tired springs, didnt get much drop out of the rear (4" srping gave me a little over 2") but the coils were so worn the middle three were smashed together, also the truck ended up about 1.3" higher on the drivers side, im not sure if the spring in the front havent seated yet or what.. all in all i was pleased, but would/will probably go anothe route in the future for parts, between missing hardware and the shotty salesman i wasnt to impressed, but the quality of parts was great, here's a pic.. now all it needs is some paint and 20" wheels and i'll be set, thanks

Sweet, a suspension drop always makes a huge improvement IMO.

Re: Lowered my 67'

Well, I see where Matt's old truck went now. I did the welding on that truck.

Please, please, please, call ECE on the phone and give those guys a chance next time. If there is a single nut, bolt, or washer missing, I guarantee you they will next day air it to you without cost or complaint. Customer service from ECE is simply second to none.

Re: Lowered my 67'

Re: Lowered my 67'

I knew I recognized that truck from somewhere!

I got a short ride in it this spring @ the local DFW guys meet & greet. Matt's a great guy too so you know that truck is solid.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
