Front Cradle Swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The 82 is on it's way to a very quick death bed and not worht the bucks to put it right for the daughter. I'm thinking about doing the swap of the front cradle to get disks and 5 lug wheels, as well as the power steering. If I do the cradle swap, does it take everything, arms, spindles, tie rods, pitman, idler arm from the 82 or do I have to mix and match any of the 70 suspension with it?

If I go this route, I'll be using the 82 power steeriing also. I may also borrow the turbo 350 and latemodel rear end/brakes from it also.
