6 lug disc brake conversion

I am wanting to convert the front brakes on my 1969 c10 to disc brakes. Aside from buying a kit off of the Internet, what is the best truck to used to scavenge parts off of to do this. I also want them to be power brakes. Thanks for the help.

I used the parts from a '71 donor; disc to disc and then bought new 6 lug rotors.
Worked well.
Same can be said of the PS components.

What did you get the rotor off of?

Here you go,...

These work with any 71-87 2wd front end that has the HD 1-1/4" rotors.
