Disc brake conversion: Beating a dead horse

[jturner18]

Ok. I've read and read and read again the swap threads under the FAQs. HELP!!!
I have mutiple 73-87 trucks to choose from to do the swap. All of my front end on my 65 is completely worn out and I planned on replacing all of it anyway. So why would I take the components of the donor truck? Like tie rod ends, centerlink, rotors, calipers, etc...if I plan on replacing anyway. I do understand to get the brake booster, MC, PP, brake lines, etc..

From what I've read, and seen people do, tell me if this will work...

Take Brake booster, MC, PP, and all brake lines that I can get, along with steering gearbox, power steering pump, and hoses.
Order bracket for booster and gearbox from Captainfab (Ive read it is top notch).

Order 2.5 in drop spindles (6 lug) from XX that fit new upper and lower ball joints for a 73-87.

Why would I use the rotors and calipers and linkages (tie rod ends, centerlink, pitman/idler arms) from the donor?

Basically all I'm doing is ordering, per 73-87, upper/lower ball joints. Do I order, because I'm replacing anyway, the linkages (tie rod ends, center link, and pitman/idler arm) for a 73-87? Will it bolt up? Also, do I snag the 73-87 swaybar?

Sorry for so many questions but I'm ready to fix ol "Elbow Grease"!

Thanks,
