Heres where it gets interesting though both the 1971 and 1972 came standard with front Disc however the brake lines are routed completely different between both years, so you will need to use the 1972 crossmember or relocate your brake hose mounting tabs and buy this aftermarket kit to mount the rear brake lines.

Basically you need to commit to using the 1972 brake system.
I was hoping that the ball joints would work. For I just bought the ones in the 68 frame. But I guess I will have to pull the engine and transmission out of my rolling frame and install the whole unit out of the 72. also the rear end. I like to work on my truck but this my friend is stepping backwards.
