Jackpot!! Have Questions

[Chevyboy1962]

Hey Guys,
This morning my Dad & I took his truck to a real small town east of here.
On the way there, my Dad & I lost count after 15 '67-'72 trucks.

About 5 were in peoples driveways, the others were either parked out in a field, by a barn with other junk, or being parted out. I can't believe I seen this many in one area.

The Guy I went to see about a TH350 trans had something like 5 or 6 '71-'72 C10 swb trucks he was parting out, besides 1 '73-'87 truck I got the trans from.

I felt bad for the one red '71-'72 swb stepside that was rolled.
Now that all these trucks have 5 lugs, isn't there a difference in brakes from '71 & '72?

I heard that '71 front brakes are more expensive than on the '72 trucks.

How do I decode the VIN on these trucks?

What's a good price to pay for the complete front IFS from hub to hub?

Also what's a good price to pay for a '71-'72 rear end?

I'm going to ask if he would want to do a trade, since at the moment I don't got alot of extra funds, since I bought the trans. lol
TIA,
David
