front clip? meaning sheetmetal, or are you talking about the whole suspension setup? I really would want the modern brakes and steering, as I would have to get rid of my 89 Suburban, which aside from being nearly limousine length, drives really really well even with 240,000 miles (been kept up really well).

Is there much of a difference in the A-arms and mounting points/geometry between a 60-66 and a 73-87/91? Will a disc brake spindle just swap right in? And the steering box? I don't want the 24.0:1 manual steering, I want a nice driver.

How well does the coil spring rear suspension work for heavy duty hauling and towing vs a leaf spring setup for a 3/4 ton? Is it unheard of to swap in leafs onto the old chassis?
