71 suspension or use what I got?

Hey guys,

This is probably a stupid question, but

I've been talking to a guy local about picking up a 71 5 lug suspension that he will not be using in his project....included are the a-arms, spindles, rotors, calipers plus all steering stuff and the rear end which is I believe a 3.08...and just rebuild everything
OR should I reuse the a-arms I have from a 68 and just pick up some new spindles, rotors, calipers, ball joints, inner/outer tie rods from a 72???

Also will the center link work from the 68 w/ the 71/72 tie rods?

Plans for use with this is to change out the 6 lug drum setup from the 68 frame I have that I intend to build up for a 72 truck...probably lowered statically with coil springs??....

Thanks for any help....
