67-72 Disc Swap Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi all!

Thinking of shortening one of my LWB frames to a SWB and want to do the 5 lug disc swap.
This truck I am using is a 1972 3/4 truck.

I have a complete set of 1/2 ton Disc Brake spindles setups from a 72.

Now.
What do I need to know about this swap?
Should I try to locate the 72 1/2 ton A-Arms?
Can I use the 73 up 1/2 A-Arms on the 72 crossmember?

So, what direction should I go to accomplish this?

Thanx!

I also have an 84 1/2 ton complete truck I am going to dismantle.

Sorry if this is redundant to ask but I did a search on the site and couldnt locate what I need.
