The disc brake front ends (a arms and spindles or the whole xmember) can be swapped on the 60-66 frames pretty easily. Is the truck still a 6 lug, or has it been converted to 5 lug?

previous owner told me its a '68

You mention BOA (bag over/on arm, last time I built an air ride setup), then mention the 60-62 frames, which would be leaf spring and not have the trailing arm rear.

if thats true, thats weird cause I have a '62 with trailing arms. my last build was a '99 though. leaf...

If you can weld then you could run pretty much any system you want. Cantilever will get you more lift, and usually let you do so with a slightly smaller bag. Requires more fab work, and math. IMO to have the most ease, the most articulation, and one of the easiest would be a 4 link. Even easier, a 3 link, but u loose a little bit of side to side.
Thorbeck bros, aka suicidedoors aka Quality Air Ride now...have some really nice diy kits for stuff like that. If you call them up and tell them what you want to do; usually one of them can put a nice setup together for you.

thanks dude that is exactly what i was thinking. I did see porter has their rear dropmember setup (and 4-link option) almost 100% bolt on minus the cup mounts at $1900 with notch I think.
