70 K10 and front disk brakes
I've been told that the best way to add power disks to my 70 K10 is to put in a complete axle from a 73 and up square body. Can anyone give me some pointers on what axle and years to look for? My truck originally had manual drums and was converted to power drums.

A Dana 44. You might be able to find one with the right gear ratio.
