I went with Early Classic Enterprises. IMO they have the best complete kit to change over to disc and if your thinking of lowering your truck now would be the time. The dropped spindles are the same price. ECE kits are complete with evverything you need to do the change.
As far as your rear axle, you can swith it out to 71-72 5 lug or you can pull your axles out and take them to a machine shop and have them re-drilled.
Good Luck!
