I bought a 70 c20 and I was wondering the easiest way to put disk brakes on the front and the best way to lower the truck a couple inches. Thanks

Probably the cheapest and easiest way to do disc brakes is to get the parts off of a 71-72. GM started using front disc brakes as a standard item beginning in 71.

The "best" way would be drop spindles in the front, but lowering springs would be the cheapest, same with the rear.
