The goal is to have disc brakes and power steering.
Really trying to find the least expensive and simplest way to do a disc brake conversion and power steering upgrade. Want to look at the big picture rather than just one aspect of the goal.

I am estimating to convert my 63 C20 to FRONT disc brakes, it would cost about $550, if I purchased new spindles.
$300 Spindles (NEW from the truck shop)
$100 Rotors (NEW Rock Auto)
$60 Calipers (NEW Rock Auto)
$25 Brake Pads (NEW Rock Auto)
$50 Misc tie rods, ball joints
I guess I may as well keep it all 8-lug, since it would probably cost a lot more to convert to the 5 lug. And, i could keep the rear setup as drums for a while.
