71 Crew Cab Project - Ideas?

I have a 71 crew cab 4x4, with a newer 390 and NP435 and a divorced case. I am pretty sure every part leaks something, but I dont mind replacing seals and beating arround the drive line.

I want to put a front end that has the discs alraedy, so I dont have to mess with conversions.. What should I look for to bolt in?

The emergency brake parts that are under the rear of the cab are gone, so I got one cable from the cab, and 2 cables form the rear end, but no brake arm.. any one got a part truck with what I need on it?

2 Owners ago put power stearing in it, and it works ok, and leaks.. if I change out the front end for disc brakes, am I going to run into issues with that setup??

I will post some pictures here soon.

Thanks

i would look for a f250 or 350 what ever you have that is a 4x4 that has everything you want and use it as a doner truck, most everything will fit, just somethings need to be longer. good luck with the crew cab they are a ton of fun
