I have read that the 60-66 chevy c-10 is a really good suspension, but I have also heard you can swap a 73-87 front end including disc brakes and power steering, how hard is it to do, I am near a few Pick N Pull salvage yards, so I could get it all for pretty good bargain. Or can I just use the spindles off the later model trucks to add disc brakes, from what I have seen the parts look really the same.
