10 bolt front under 1970 c-10?

[dmigura]

Just exploring more options. I want to Change my front d44 drums to disc brakes, and I am starting to understand the parts swap from a post 71 dana 44. But I have another option just sitting in my back yard. I have a 1980 3/4 ton w/a 10 bolt front and a 14 bolt rear. both are solid axles. I think I would have to move the perches on the rear, but is that all. Is the front a direct bolt in? Steering and all? If so this seems cheaper and easier for me than trying to round up new d44 break parts? Also would these axles be and upgrade or is the d44 a better axle.

Thanks
