ECE Early Classic Enterprises UP- DATE
So I sold my Quad and decided it was time to redo the suspension on the 70. One call to ECE, Early Classic Enterprises, and presto I’ve got everything I need AND it showed up 2 days after I ordered it. Granted there in LA and I’m in the Bay Area but WOW that was quick, , Thanks ECE. I ordered the 4/6 drop kit and the new Trailing arms with cross member. The quality of these parts is phenomenal, nice powder coating and ALL the nuts and bolts to go along with it. It may be a little while before I get it all installed but I’ll get some pics as soon as I can.
1st pic is All the Boxes, Man just like Xmas 2nd pic is all the new parts all laid out, I forgot to show the springs but it came with all new ones, Pretty 3rd pic is the Truck Before shot. The After shot will follow soon Last but not least is my Partner King Leonidas AKA Leo our American Bull Dog, He loves to ride in the truck

Re: ECE Early Classic Enterprises
Like to know how well that crossmember will fit your truck. I am wanting to switch from leafs to trailing arms. Looks like a nice setup.

Re: ECE Early Classic Enterprises
Congrats on the new parts. ECE is great. Bought similar set up years ago for my first truck. Purchased my current truck from Mark at ECE. Loaded with alot of their parts. Mark and the crew are really great guys. You will not be disappointed.

Re: ECE Early Classic Enterprises
You will not need a c-notch... trust me.
You have picked the best drop kit on the market; ECE offers the best products and services.

Re: ECE Early Classic Enterprises
I like the look of their trailing arms. Let us know how they work. I'd like to get a pair for my truck.

Re: ECE Early Classic Enterprises UP-Date
Made some progress. The rivits are a real pain. All but 2 are out and they are the hardest ones to get too. Should have it out tonight or tomorrow for sure then all back together. Thank God I have my boys helping me. My youngest Son did most of the rivit removal. Once I'm done I can have the exhaust redone to go though the X Member, I love it
