i would check to see if anyone offers a kit to convert it to disc brakes. by the time you add up machining, refurbishing and cobbleing together a bunch of mis matched parts and try to get them to work, a kit if offered would end up being a lot cheaper and easier to do.

someone will probably chime in if a kit is offered as these were pretty popular years of trucks. check with some of the major online vendoers like LMC, Dennis Carpenter, etc as they might offer a kit for this year truck.
