Read, read, read.
There is a ton of info on here.
Also look at the Suspension Marketplace.

order the conversion spindles from earlyclassic.com then use standard components for a 72 c10. i know it works, i did it.

find a c10 rear end in a junkyard and swap the springs for c10. earlyclassic.com has a kit for this as well as it changes you panhard bar and relocates your shocks.

easy to do and can be done in your driveway. i know cause i did it.

Don't think it is going to be that simple for him if the truck is at his listed location.

Rebuilding the stock brakes is generally the easiest and is factory documented in the service manuals.
