Best place for drop springs (In Canada)???? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have sort of been concidering dropping my truck for a while. Right now I kind of have an urge to do it. Who knows....maybe it will disappear again, but I am asking anyway.

Where is the best place in Canada to get drop springs from as far as price goes? I might just be best off getting them through work from somebody like Mopac, but I figured I would ask here first.

The truck is my 69 GMC and desired drop is 3". If anybody in Canada has used ones they are trying to sell, throw me PM.

Slammed66: Yeah, there isn't much around here. A guy opened up a home business called "The Hot Rod Shop" in Yorkton, but I have never dealt with him. I work at a GM dealership and we can get our hands on pretty much get anything (only problem is by time I pay 20% over cost and shipping on expensive items, I might as well just buy over the counter). Thats pretty much how everybody is around here. Nobody stocks much of anything, but can access pretty much whatever they want. On the upside, hot rodding is really on the up around here, tons of people are getting into it and the Esterhazy drags have gone from a small event to a huge one in just 3 years.

do you know when the esterhazy drags are on this year I might rip down for a visit and check em out , my uncle tried to go in em last year but his 52 gmc wouldnt pass tech for lack of seat belts!

I believe they are either on the 5th or 12th of September, I can't remember exacty. If you stop by www.306motorclub.com there is a guy from the Esterhazy car club on there that had posted the tentative date and will probably keep us filled in on date changes. FWIW, the link won't work right now, they are currently in a transition process. It used to be saskmotorclub.com, but some company called saskmotorcub or something like that claims that the club could not have that name due to possible confusion and they threatened to take legal action.
