Decisions.......Decisions!?!?!?

So I have a little dilemma. I have a 70 c10 2wd, and I have been able to save about a grand in the last month or so to throw at the truck.....

I definately want to lower it 5.5/7 because I like the stance with 20's on it.

But I want to do power steering and a front disc conversion to it.

Good guys is this weekend so I am going to see if there are any deals to be had...lol

I also stumbled on a big sale that brothers is doing that last until the end of April. So I figure if I can't find it a the good guys swap meet, then I will buy it from brothers

So with the idea of making my money stretch the furthest on new parts I was thinking that I would do a 2.5" drop spindals with 3" drop springs up front. And then a axel flip kit with 2" leaf hanger in the rear.

But the problem lies with wanting to do the power conversions. The brake conversion they offer has the drop spindals in it, but it will use up most of the $1000 that I have to spend. And same story for the steering conversion using up most the $$

So my question is should I go with all the lowering components and try to piece together the other systems with the remaining cash?????

And driving home from work today, I found a donor truck sitting in a field, so I left my info with the neighbor because the owner wasn't home. So now I'm waiting to hear from him.....it was a square body. I couldn't tell the year because the front clip was not on it.....(73-87)

So I'm hoping that I can use the main power steering and disc brake stuff from it. But I'm not sure if the rotors from that truck will fit the aftermarket drop spindals I want to order from brothers. Because I have read that there are different diameter size spindals out there......

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.....
