It's tough to beat Early Classic.

CPP has some available as do the board vendors, I do not know what brand they carry.

Early Classic

jimmydean · 03-07-2007, 11:50 AM

I give GMC Pauls kit a +1 for not having to change out everything. I know the ECE kit is nice too, but I didn't want to deal with what year what goes with what.

I ask for '69 parts, and they work.

royo · 03-07-2007, 06:12 PM

thanks guys keep them comein

ECE Early Classic Enterprises

Jaredm82 · 03-08-2007, 12:06 AM

DJM 230 plus 10 bucks to ship from summit. Same price as ECE but I dont kow how much they charge to ship?? Youd have to change your ball joints, but I think its worth it for the full 3" drop instead of 2.5". I dont know about ECE spidles but DJM does NOT push your wheels out unlike some others...

IvelDesigns · 03-08-2007, 01:00 AM

DJM? i'm not able to put the acronym to a name... got a URL?

Jaredm82 · 03-08-2007, 01:12 AM

www.djmsuspension.com DS2045H-3 is the spindle for 73-87 w/1.25" rotors...

mcgaughy's

jjk3 · 03-09-2007, 12:23 PM

I second Mcgaughy's, you don't have to change any parts with theirs. They also have a good price on a front disc brake package.

royo · 03-09-2007, 12:26 PM

do you have a link to them

droppedgmc · 03-09-2007, 12:43 PM

jjk3 · 03-09-2007, 09:47 PM

If you have any questions about their products, just give their number a call. They were very helpful when I talked to them.

The set I bought from GMC Pauls was made by these guys. Again, I'm very happy with the setup.

I also have Mcgaughey's but had to trim the top pad of the spindles with a grinder to clear the radius of the upper control arms and also had to trim the bottom of the spindles to clear my wheel weights. If you are planning to run dust shields you have to drill the holes because they are not pre-drilled.

royo · 03-13-2007, 09:17 PM

ok then thanks guys

The ECE one's are drilled and tapped and go right on no problems, no parts changing.

I think you will like them. Powell72 and I just bolted a set onto my truck(well, frame, not a truck so much as a pile of parts) tonight. Not a single glitch, excellent quality.
