Question Swapping front suspension help

I found this frame and want to know who has done this before and what I need to know.
1986 Chevy Truck frame from crew cab long bed, 2wd
Hubs are 16", 8 lug. with disc brakes.
I want to swap the disc brakes out to my 67/68 ramp truck.
What am I getting into? The price on it is right. $100.00 for all of it. After I get the brakes stuff I'll take the frame and scrap it I guess and get a little of my money back.
So what do I need to do take the whole front out of the 86 frame and just install it are tear it a part and just swap ball joints out of mine to 86 and put it all back together.
I already have power drums. I just want the disc for hauling stuff. The front wheel cylinders are dripping so I'm gonna have to rebuild the fronts anyway so why not do the swap is what I'm thinking.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
