Swapping ford I-beams

I have a 1970 F-250, It's got front drums brakes, and worn out king pins. I was woundering if it was possible to swap I-Beams from a newer truck. I would like have ball joints, and disk brakes. Any help would be great.

mustang two swaps ore fairly popular but you could do a swap with another truck up to 79 as a direct bolt on. i did the swap with a 79 , got the whole truck for 200 got the front end parts and other parts i needed amd sold the rest of the truck and made 300 over what i paid for the donor truck.

Up to 79 250/350 is a direct bolt up as well as a great all Ford choice, engineered for your truck, to keep it sturdy & safe and able to still work as a truck should. IMHO
