what sould i get?

So, my uncle tells me he's got a '73 f 100 that is going to the crusher...he's pulling the 360,tranny, rearend, and bed. i am hoping to get a rad.,brake booster, master cyl., and under bed gas tank. i think i should pull any other interchanging parts as spares....can anyone give me a quick (or extensive) rundown of what is the same on my truck? (btw my truck is a 69 f100 360 t-85 3.11 swb custom cab)

If it has power steering you will want the steering box and pitman arm, the column and the bracket that holds the column to the fire wall. Lots of small stuff like window cranks, pedal pads ect. Even the washer tank can be made to work on a 69 with out much trouble

Get the front disk brake setup. To make it easy on yourself, just take the complete I-beam assemblies and worry about changing the king pins later. Get the brake proportioning valve as well.

The '73 that my wife and I stripped and got the disk brake setup from did. Although, you could still get drum brakes into the mid-70s I believe on some vehicles.
