64 gmc 1 ton stepside questions

[glenrose]

Been trolling the forums for a few months now. Lots of great info and pics so I finally registered.


A few questions about my 64 GMC 930 stepside with 9 foot box, 283 4 speed granny tranny and 5:14 rear, rear leaf springs, dump box:

1. hard to find info on the 1 tons. are the suspension parts the same as the 3/4 tons?

2. if not, does that mean the aftermarket drop spindles front disc brake conversions wouldn't work?

3. where can I find parts for the 9 foot box

I currently have an edelbrock performer manifold and 600cfm carb that I will be putting on and a HEI distributor to replace the points. I have procrastinated on these for now as the truck runs so good with the stock setup right now.
Would like to add disc brakes up front and pwr brakes and steering. Would like to get it to the point where I could drive it daily ( got to address tranny/axle set up for highway driving eventually)

Any Saskatchewan members out there?

will post pictures once i figure out how.
