Will these parts work?

[mistertrose]

Guys,

Still learning the differences in these trucks. I currently have a 68 Chevy C10Stepper, short wheel base. Its still 6 lug, drums all around, non-power. It has a 5.7 liter FI motor and tranny out of a 95 GMC truck so it runs good and very dependable. The part I don't fully trust are the brakes.

I ran across a good running 72 GMC long bed that is 5 lug, disc brakes in front. Will these suspension parts convert over to mine? Is it just bolt on or any fabbing required?

The 5 lug rear end uses leaf springs, mine has trailing arms. What is needed to swap that rearend in to mine? Does that require cutting and welding of mounts? Or can I change over the axels and brakes?

72 has power brake booster. Will this just replace my current? Oh yeah, as a side note, the 72 is on a set of decent 17 inch wheels.

I can get this 72 for a hell of a deal. ($750) Is it worth to take this route, or do I just buy a conversion. The only thing wrong with the 72 is that the clutch is out. Runs OK, body better than average.

Thank you all in advance and for helping out a newbie!
