Lolife....I am definitely going to replace all the front stuff so I like the thought of cheaper setup.....so will the 68 or 71 upper and lower a-arms (already have these) work w/ the 73+ ball joints, spindles, calipers, tie rods, rotors?? Will I also need the 73+ center link too??

Yes,... the 73-87 balljoints will bolt and press into your 68 a-arms.
You need the 73-87 steering centerlink,... and then buy new inner and outer tie rods, idler arm, spindles and calipers.
Just go to your local parts store and price the stuff for a 72 compared to a 73 truck. It all adds up to big savings.
Rubber brake hoses alone, are a big savings in the 73-87 version.
Good luck.
