I'm looking for a 2/4 or 3/4 drop and disc brake conversion kit for my 69, where is the best place to get it??? I'm looking for the same thing everyone else wants, good quality and good price!!!

Try any of the vendors on the BB.They will have what you're looking for.You need to decide how complete of a kit you want or if you just want the basic parts and buy the other things(Ball joints,tie rod ends etc.) from the auto supply.

the classic performance parts grand slam kit is very complete. i will be putting one on a friends truck pretty soon. it arrived today and looks pretty nice. it is a ton of stuff! one thing to be careful of is the shipping. it was 175 for us.

I think Tutt was referring to Early Classic Enterprise and that is where I bought my 2/4 drop which I was not happy with. Good parts but not enough drop. I totally agree with Tutt and think the grand slam 4/6 drop is the way to go. I am purchasing 6" drop springs for the back and adding 2.5" drop spindels in the front. If you get the kit everything is included. I am spending more money than if I would have purchased the 4/6 originally. Best drop kit for the money without resorting to bags. Hope this helps!

I got mine from GMC Pauls.

They have great customer service and I would highly recomend them.

the kit i am referring to is from cpp. it is a disc brake conversion with drop springs and shocks.

Many people on this board have had problems with CPP concerning crap customer service and backorder issues. I've personally dealt with Early Classic several times and can't say enough good things about them.
GMC Paul's is also a great organization with very friendly staff.

I am going to use GMCPauls for 75% percent of my parts. For one he is only 30 miles from me and I like to keep the business local. They are great to deal with and will always work out a deal with you. They are really down to earth and know what most of us are going through with our budgets. If you don't want new he may have good used parts for you.
