The price seems fair but will your wheels clear the calipers?

Sounds like a fairly economical way to upgrade to disc brakes. I would likely replace all of the ball joints, inner and out tie-rods, pitman and pull man arm. They will add to the cost of upgrading but I'm of the mind to replace it all now while putting it all back together.

I’m in the process of the same swap (88 3/4 suburban front end onto a 1966 C20) - you’ll need to accommodate the power steering and change in brakes as well, but the price seems right.

I paid 300 for a 73 1/2 ton suspension. Since this is a 3/4 ton you might be able to find one at Pick and Pull for a fraction of that price.

If it's already pulled & everything is there, the price is not bad. Free is always better but if obtaining the parts is easier & everything is there, time is money. I would try to get the factory 8-lug front wheels as part of the deal if @ all possible.

Decided to skip on it and get spindles that match my truck so I could use original parts. Thought down the road it would be easier to keep track of.

I picked up a c20 full rolling chassis 1977 (?) for a future conversion on a 1964-1966 C20-30
