Swap in a complete 71-87 front cradle with power discs and power steering. It will almost bolt right in, just drill a few holes. The rear coils should be fine for heavy hauling, but if you want leafs, they were available as an option on the Chevys and standard on the GMCs. I've never seen a swap done, but I don't imagine it wouldn't be too difficult.
