For the brakes, you can either swap out the spindles if you intend to put in new king pins (see the tech article sectoin), or swap out the entire i-beam/spindle combination. Donor parts come from a 73-79. Same goes with power steering, just much sure you get the steering column as well (different length).

Locate a junked donor truck (73-79) with the parts you need from a private owner would be cheaper than junk yard also look in the tech articals
there is very good tech info. there .
