Anyone used the kit from tomsclassic on ebay? I am thinking about buying it and wonder if anyone has used this kit before.

Do you have a link to the ebay ad?

Let me know what you think. Thanks. Wayne

Looks ok to me.
I haven't priced these items separately lately.

67Slider · 11-10-2011, 12:16 AM

Looks like a pretty good deal. In the market for one myself.

gysgtc · 11-12-2011, 02:58 PM

I am going to order it Monday. I'll let you know how it is.

67Slider · 11-12-2011, 06:08 PM

Cool. Let us know. When you install it check to see if it pushes your wheels out. I think this kit is great but my wheels are out as far as I want them now. Another half inch out on each side would be too much for me.

By the looks of the kit I think its safe to say that it will increase track width.

gringoloco · 11-13-2011, 11:04 AM

It WILL incresase track width by ~3/4" per side, and you could buy everything cheaper piece-meal, but having it all together and ready is worth a few bucks...

He is a good guy to deal with. He is at car craft every year and is super nice to talk to. I bought a windshield from him and it looks awesome.

gysgtc · 12-01-2011, 05:41 AM

Installed the kit and every thing went great. Would recommend this guy if you need the drop kit.

Hey Gunny,

Did the kit push your wheel base out at all?

**michael bustamante** · 12-01-2011, 04:18 PM

CPP actually has a kit that wont pop out the wheels any more than 67 stock width

gysgtc · 12-02-2011, 08:21 AM

Hey 67SLIDER,
I don't know if it pushed it out or not. The truck is totally taken apart. The front suspension and steering was the first to start being put back together. I can take measurements if you want. I don't even have rims and tires yet because I switched to 5 lug.

67Slider · 12-02-2011, 09:51 AM

Don't sweat it Gysgtc. I was just curious. I need to do this but I have 10's on the front now. I need to break down and buy some 8's, tires and then get my disc brake conversion kit. Nothings cheap tho. Merry Christmas.
