Hello all I am pretty new to this site but I love it already. I have 2 1969 c10's one a short bed the other a long bed, I have been wanting to swap the upper and lower A arms for newer ones because the newer ones have rubber bushings as opposed to the old ones not having it, can I just swap the A arms? if so from what year trucks? or do I need to swap the cross member as well? if so what year trucks?

my short bed also comes with 3.73 posi rear end but it is a 6 lug that I want to convert to a 5 lug, I know there is after marked axles but I was wondering if I could swap them from a newer truck?
