Welcome to the board.
Since you are new,... I will answer your question by say, "this question gets asked about every day of the year". Ha.
Search around in the suspension section or look at this thread:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...68&postcount=4

71-87 front suspension is a good disc brake source.
71-72 coil spring rearend would be a bolt in swap.
73-87 rearends can be made to work with a little fab work and welding.

Again,... WELCOME to the board!

Welcome to the forum xguzman13x. As mentioned thats a common conversion. The link that lolife99 posted is a great starting point for you. Read through that and let us know if you still have any questions.

Another welcome to the board! I know in the past the 5 lug conversion was common due to wheel choice, but now there's a lot more options out there for 6 luggers. Do you have a set of wheels in mind already?

Also, how "soon" till you get them pics up?!
