just wondering if the spindle and disc brakes off my buddys 76 chevy pickup will work in my 68 c10? and also the automatic crossmember?

The spindles will work with a balljoint and tie rod swap.
Can you get all of the front end or just the spindles?

its a rolling chassis and they want $50 for it

Well worth the money.
Get it all.
Especially the steering linkage and steering box.
You will have everything you need except the master cylinder and prop valve,... unless it's still on it.

I'd swap the whole crossmember; less work cause except for a little steering box clearance it bolts in place of the original c-member.
