Questions about 1965 C20 front end drum to disc

Ok, I have been posting on a different site for a few days now, thought to post the same questions here and maybe someone have the answers.

I recently bought a 65 C10, but believe it has a C20 frame. It has rear leaf spring, and all wheels are 8 lugs.

I want to convert the front from drum to disc, but have a few questions:
- 1 see there is a kit from Performance On Line (https://www.performanceonline.com/63...-deluxe-8-lug/) suppose to be a conversion kit. However, several posts I have read on different forums all say you can not simply convert a 65 front drum to disc, you have to swap out the whole front with a later year model, like a 70 or later. So I'm a little confused on this point. Has anyone used this conversion kit on a 65 C20 or C10? The price is not cheap, but if it really works well and a perfect fit, I would consider it.

- If I do need to do a front end swap, anyone knows how well a 1983 C20 front would work with a 1965? I found someone parting out his 83 C20. I believe it will fit, just wondering if anyone has done it and how many holes you will have to drill. Would the power steering link work the same as well?

Thanks for any help
