Just remember if you have a 6lug front end and your wanting to retain that you'll need to get some 6lug rotors from ece or cpp.. or swap your rear to a 5lug..

if its 5lug already disregard

This is a good link here on doing the swap with mostly over-the-counter parts.. using 68-70 front end parts and aftermarket spindles:

I bought an 81 parts truck and swapped the whole front end to get disk brakes and 5 bolt wheels up front. Bought the 81 truck for 500, sold the cab for 150, wheels for 100 and will get the rest of the 500 when I sell the step bed. Link below shows build thread with the front end swap.

Last year I bought a '75 1/2 ton for $500 bucks and just swapped the whole front end over to my '70. The whole process was very straight forward. I actually found a guy on ebay that was selling step by step instructions for $15 when I did mine but I can't find him on ebay anymore. While I was at it I swapped the power steering and the power brakes so it got a little more involved than it has to be but even then it wasn't that bad. Most everything just bolts right up. Let me know if you want those instructions. I think i could send them without getting in trouble since I can't find them for sale anymore??

Here are a couple of pictures of my finished front end.
