Picked up a 71 stepside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I picked up a 1971 swb stepside yesterday. It's a low option truck that is original as far as I can tell. The plan is to get power brakes, rebuild the frontend, lower and drive.

I have a couple questions;

Can I just add a power booster from another 71? Will I have to change any of the brake lines?

Can I just use lowering springs to achieve a 3/5 drop? Will I need any sway bars or relocate shocks?

Who has the best frontend rebuild kit?
