Get a 1/2 ton doner 73 -87. Change the hole crossmember they bolt right in except for a couple holes you can drill them out. you can use the power steering, master cylinder with boster, and the rear end.CPP,Brothers, or Early Classic Enterprisses has the spring perches the put the rear in.Get 1/2 ton springs for the rear. Make sure you use the front sway bar,you will wish you had if you don't.

Disc brakes must be very popular topic on the forums, I would think Brothers Trucks or LMC Trucks would have a kit available.
