chassis painted what now?

[TOMATRZ]

i am doing a complete frame of restoration and so far i finally finish painting my chassis what do i do know do i move on to converting my front end to disk brakes or should i hold on if so what is the best bang for my buck do i go with 6 or 5 lug i was thinking of going with a cpp brake kit. or do i just put back my drums for now and and start on replacing the gas tank with one under the bed, running my fuel lines and brake lines. do i wait to do my front suspicion till after i get the truck running again that way i can choose the correct drop for it i was thinking a 2/4 with 20 on the front and 22 on the back? is this a good size combo any issues. people i would appreciate all your comments and help can some one guide me in the correct direction!!!!

thanks appreciated

Welcome to the board!

Where in Cali are you located? If you are local here in the southland, CPP is great for counter service and parts. If you live up north, go with ECE for your suspension needs. Front disks are a major improvement to your truck. I would go with that first and foremost. 5 or 6 lug is up to you, depending on your wheel choice. I would do the basics first before worrying about the drop combo. New ball joints, tie rod ends, etc. There are plenty of trucks on here to drool over while you contemplate the combo you want. I have started a build thread and am currently restoring a 72 SWB frame. Take a look at the link in my sig. as I am starting with the steering/brakes/suspension. Good luck with your build!
