Hey Charlie,...what about the rear shocks?
My rear shocks are a different KYB part number. (344067)
ECE must be using a different shock for the rear, now.

70k52wd · 08-06-2009, 07:32 PM

I don't have boxes and didn't pay attention to part #. Now if you want me to check, I will when I pull my gas tank, again.

**Hart_Rod** · 08-12-2009, 11:44 AM

Nice write up and an even Sweeter truck! Can't wait to see/read more.

I went out to the garage for lunch and we have the same shocks 02-7510 rear and 02-7002 front. they shipped with our ECE 2 1/2 - 4 drop. I pulled a front 02-7002 off one mount and it's about 15 1/2 expanded and 10 compressed, i also pulled the rear off one mount 02-7510 is about 19 1/4 expanded, and 12 compressed.

Hope this helps

Great info Heath, props for helping out SCOTI and n2billet!

my67chevytruck · 08-12-2009, 01:36 PM

Np, Just trying to help out when i can... u make a decision on rims..... still contemplating.......

72BlckButy · 08-12-2009, 01:42 PM

Well... for the time being it's going to be rallys, but I have made a decision for future shoes.

I will have some updated pics to post from today's events. I hope to get them up this evening.

**Boomerswany** · 08-12-2009, 05:13 PM

Sweet... Subscribe-ded. I'm a sucker for the beauty of your truck, and that green color!!!

- Thanks for sharing.

My projo - is the ugly, cousin ~ but 250 / 6, looking forward to seeing your trans-mod. I'm working the rear suspension right now so your notes are a good coach!

I just got the ECE Super Track myself - Any trouble with the pass-side bracket hitting the frame? I'm using 4" rear springs and 2" aluminum blocks, then a step notch (prepping for the bags... down the road...)

72BlckButy · 08-12-2009, 08:56 PM

Boomerswany, I didn't run into any issues with the bracket hitting the frame. This might be caused because the rearend isn't centered in the rear of the truck.

Let me know if you need any shots of the rear suspension of the truck, and good luck with your project.

LooseCannon · 08-14-2009, 01:54 PM

One of the nicest trucks on the board! The drop is awesome!

sjarrett71 · 08-16-2009, 04:15 PM

STILL waiting!!!!!! The weekend is almost over!!!!!!!

72BlckButy · 08-17-2009, 02:02 PM

Well guy's.... sorry I left you hanging all weekend, but it seemed like somethign would always come up just as I was about to sign into the board. So let's play a little catch up.

Here's a quick shot of the infamous 15x7 6-lug rallys before they were taken to my body shop to be blasted clean:

Now if you notice, these pics were taken with the wheels in the back of the '69. As you can guess, these wheels have now been dropped off and picked up for painting.

72BlckButy · 08-17-2009, 02:06 PM

On Wednesday (8/12) I scheduled an appointment at my Chevy dealer (Putnam Chevrolet) to have my truck realigned after we blew apart the front end to install the drop kit. While I was there I took in some of the sites they had parked in the lot. Look for another thread to be posted soon with some of those shots.

Here's a few shots of the truck awaiting it's fate on the rack, and then being driven to and resting on the rack:

Now I know I told you to look for another thread to review the pictures of what I spent my time looking at while waiting for my truck to be realigned, but since this next shot had my truck in the background, I figured I would give you a preview of what's to come...

VA72C10 · 08-17-2009, 02:12 PM

There was a camaro in that picture?

j/k

Truck looks really good.

72BlckButy · 08-17-2009, 02:12 PM

So after I paid the bill, and mopped up the front showroom floor, it was off to work. However, I just had to make a detour... so I stopped in at my body shop (Xtreme Body and Paint) and dropped off the 15x7 rallys and a set of headlight bezels. After a few hours I received a call from the shop telling the pieces were ready to be picked up, so I left work early and here's what I ended up picking up:

**lolife99** · 08-17-2009, 03:43 PM

Nice,...
I'm still looking for you another pair of the "super rare" 15x7's,... so you can keep those.
So anyone, that has a set of these (2 or 4),... PM me or Nate.
I might buy two if you have to purchase a complete set.
