Best year truck for front end donation?

[metalman]

what year truck you guys think is best to get a front suspension off of?
It is what, 1973 to 1982 isn't it that will fit.
I know i read that the later models had a better steering ratio right?
I;m going to be selling a camaro i have to fund the front end rebuild of my truck, then i started thinking i should just do a later model swap.
Would like the buy what ever year would be best so i can get it all from one doner.
And it should be fine to bolt my trucks frontend onto the doner truck right? so it can roll around and i can get rid of it easier when i'm done with it.
or maybe just sell it to someone here if someone would need it.

Also i have seen on the board about using a later model master cylinder.
I have a picture saved of a blue truck saved from here with a later MC on it and was said to be from an 85 model i think and not using a booster. I would like to go this route. Any one have an actual part number for such a thing.
are there power and non power MC's for those mid 80's year models?
Any specific info on this would be cool.

thanks
