Any comment will be helpful.
Look around in the Suspension section.
There is alot of info there.
The front stuff is a basic swapping of parts, plus adding the disc brake master cylinder and proportioning valve from the '72.
The rear will be a direct swap also as long as both trucks are either coil or leaf sprung.
