My goal is to drop the front 4 1/2 inches with drop spindles and coils. Even if I find a complete a 73-87 front end, I will need to replace the springs and spindles with the drop style.

You make a good point on keeping all of the parts the same vintage for the steering. I'll see if my local junk yard has any 73-87 trucks laying around that I can rob the parts from. If I get the front suspension parts, I might as well grab the power steering box, pump and all of the mounting brackets and hoses.

Thanks again!
