Question front suspension swaps?

I just purchased my first twin I beam truck and was wondering what were the pros and cons of the twin I's ? I am contiplating changing out the front end but was also thinking about just getting a set of drop beams. Any thoughts? I want to lower the truck and kind of go with a pro street look. I am also contiplating chopping the top. Any help would be good. I really don't know were to get a windshield choped

The twin beams will let your truck ride smoother versus the old solid axle. There are a host of upgrades available like power brakes and power steering. There are many post dealing with these if you want to search for them.
There has even been mention of grabbing the beams from a later model that will provide you with all this.
