Good Deal? Front cradle and rearend

Found a front and rearend 5 lug setup for my 67 for $150.

Front crossmember/cradle came off a 72 C10 that has DISC brakes with 5 lug and power steering.The rear axle is also 5 lug(not sure if it is a 12 bolt). Includes the stock chevy rally wheels.

I haven't gone to look at it yet, so not sure what the condition of any of the parts are. Anyhow, if I buy it I will end up replacing all of the ball joints, tie rods, rotors, pads, etc.

Any idea what type of costs I am looking at to rebuild the entire front?

I personally do not prefer 5 lugs over 6 lugs-either is fine so that's not a factor. I do like the idea of power steering and disc brakes though and the availibility of brake parts with this swap.

For $150 it sounds like a no brainer, but i'd hate to have $1000 invested in a stock setup, when I could spend the same for a quality aftermarket kit with a drop.
