wat i think ima do is go disc 5 lug in my front and stay 6 lug in rear for awhile..

so outside of balljoints and tierod stuff the 71-72 spindle stuff will work?

what should i replace, can i use the old brake lines,bearings, pads?

and can somebody tell me what tie rods and balljoints i'll need
im doing one on mine currently. i got my parts off of a suburban, dont get suburban parts!!!! but i would get new pads, calipers, bearings, balljoints and any other thing that might possibly be worn out. i got my brake lines from this place called "right stuff" i didnt really like them, they were a real pain to get in, i think they could fit a little better. the upper and lower ball joints (for a truck) fit right in. you will need the ball joints and tie rods for a 71 or 72, whatever your parts truck is.

Good Luck!!!
