Just figured I should finally get
around to sending in the pictures of my '70 GMC...
It's been about four years and
thirty thousand miles (!) since my dad and I installed the 2.5" Drop Spindles
with Disc Brake Conversion, and 4" Drop Leaves out back. That was back at the
very beginning of my truck's restoration; the first order of business was to get
it driving safely again, and discs up front, along with a fresh suspension, were
a must.
The parts have all performed
flawlessly; I have yet to even have to replace the front pads! Let alone the
rest of the ball joints, tie rods, and the shocks...
Aside from all of the
ECE-supplied suspension goodies, the truck has the original 350 bottom end
(hopefully coming out this summer for a 383 or 406), Vortec heads, an Edelbrock
Performer Vortec intake, Edelbrock #1901 carb, aftermarket HEI distributor,
K&N open-element air cleaner, a 700R4 transmission with one-piece
driveshaft, an Inyati sprayed-in bedliner, 1999 Suburban second-row bench seat,
a Grant GT steering wheel with billet kit, Aiwa CDC-MP3 headunit with Infinity
652i speakers, and Custom Classic LED taillights. Of course, there's still some
factory stuff in there...like air conditioning, power steering, power brakes,
and the 3.73 rear.
I love this truck, and it simply
wouldn't be all of the truck it is today without the stuff I got from
ECE...rides great, handles great, goes great (not a bit of wheel hop or
anything...15.7's at 86mph and getting faster) and, to top it all off, it still
hauls! I've used the truck to help my dad move twice, and in a month or so,
I'll be using it to move myself as well.
