advice on new build

[shlads]

Im new here to the old chevy truck build. I no this question has ben asked a thousand times, but her it goes again. I just bought my first 72 chevy shortbed stepside 2wd truck. Ready to start building. I have a wrecked 2002 2wd silverado, what can i use off the truck, can i use the front suspention and brakes? rear end with disc brakes? rack in pinion steering? brake booster and master cylinder? I would love to use as much as the truck that i can. Has anybody done this? Im not afraid to brake out the torches and welder. I also have a 1999 silverado 4wd 5.3 automatic.
