I keep a close eye on CL from time to time looking for 73+ part outs and whatnot. When I built my '69, I used an aftermarket kit with drop spindles and 6 lug rotors. Worked awesome, but was about $600.

There are a lot of swap options with the 73-87 trucks. The best part is buying front end parts for a 73-87 is always cheaper than the older rigs and are available just about everywhere.

Now I just need to find a matching 5x5 rear end.
