There are several ways to do this.You can swap an entire front crossmember off of a 72 up to about 86 truck.You have to drill a hole on each side for it to bolt in.The parts for the front suspension are cheaper.I "THINK"(scary thing that) the 6 lug disc's from any of the BB members will work but I'm not certain.There are also lots of kits to get the same results especially if you are wanting to lower it some also.You should start by educating yourself so you can make the right decision for you.Try searching the FAQ's.Member krue has a great index,look for it in his signature.
