picked up an 84 parts truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok so I got an 84 parts truck today for $75!! No engine or trans, and front fenders, hood, doors and bed are gone. A couple of questions I have as to what I can use for my baby.

1. with the front suspension what can I actually use to convert to a 5 lug disc?

2. the rear is a leaf spring set up and mine is a coil set up. Can I just swap out the "guts" of the rear to make my coil rear housing a 5 lugger?

3. booster and mast cyl will just bolt in place or do I need modifications?

I plan on junking the rest of the cab, dash, frame and front grill support. Is there anything else I should think about taking before I get rid of the rest?
