Anyone ever dealt with this company

I was thinking of purchasing this set up and was wondering if anyone had ever dealt with the company or their products. I think it's a good price and it's only temporary til I save for the full c10 conversion. Opinions appreciated thanks in advance.

Re: Anyone ever dealt with this company

I haven't but.....

CPP can beat the price of the kit you linked to:
CPP Total = $366, Compared to $381.99 at Performance Online

Just sayin..

And you can save another $93 bucks if you buy Monroe shocks @ about $25 a piece. Be sure to read through this link though: Upper Rear Shock Relocation 63-72

So now your grand total is $273.00.

Just saved you $109

Re: Anyone ever dealt with this company

Why would you want to convert a custom camper. I can see doing it to a truck thatis nothing special. Personally I rather have a C 10 but not on that truck. It is worth more the way it is.
I bought a 3/4 ton truck but it was nothing special and i will convert that, or part it out I have not figured that one out yet. hahahaaha

As long as he keeps all the parts it can easily be put back to the factory set-up.

Just like at Thunder Road: "Rules are their ain't no rules"

Thanks for the tip but as for the shocks they wouldn't be shorter shocks to accomodate the lowered springs so not sure they would last long partially compressed. Will check out the other parts though thanks again.

Would rather leave as much of the suspension intact as possible but if what I have read I have understood you can't get the disc brake spindles to go on the 3/4 ton A arms unless I have misunderstood as there is a difficlulty with the upper ball joints. But I may be mistaken. I would rather keep whats there and just get the disc brake upgrade and lower the stance a bit for the front and as for the back I haven't researched it properly but some have indicated some sort of problem with the HO52 rear end and have said that it is better to get a more modern rear axle not sure why. I however think there may be a way to convert it to the discs in the rear with the 5 lug pattern to allow a greater variety of wheel fitment. I am not trying to destroy the integrity of a somewhat rare classic just improve on the stance and breaking ability. Thanks for your concerns though perhaps conversion was the wrong term.

Come on now, would I do that to ya? I didn't just fall off the turnip truck. The shocks listed in the thread are for a lowered truck... you gotta read the thread... it won't talk to ya (just kidding)
