Powersteering and brake question.

I have a 2wd 70 short bed, manual steering, manual brakes. I plan on baggin the truck, and making it my non winter daily driver.

I've searched aorund the forum, but still have some questions.

I planned on using a power steering box from a 73-87 c10. I also wanna replace all the steering linkage & ball joints, since its probably still all original.

I also have a 2wd 81 C10. I believe that all the parts are interchangeable.

Will all the steering parts from my 81 work for my 70? Same with the balljoints? I plan on adding a set of drop spindles for the 73-87 to my 70 while Im doing this. Dropping it, but will aslo be using the componets from my 81 to add front discs to it.

Im just using my 81 truck as a reference, will be purchasing all new parts from the local parts store/summit racing.

So basically to add power steering/power disc brakes, Im gonna use a 73-87 C10 power steering box, 81 steering linkage, balljoints, belltech drop sprindles for 73-87 truck, and the brake set up for an 81(bearings, discs, calipers, etc)

Will this work, or am I missign something? I know I'll need a power booster/master and prop vavle, but that can wait.
