I don't know in earlier models but in the 67-72 models you can just get the front suspension from a disc truck and bolt it under your truck, you might have to get a different prop. valve but I'm not quite sure.
I have a spare front disc suspension with 8 lugs if you are interested, I believe it came out of a '71, I'm in PA.

I have the whole front suspension, front discs, calipers, lower and upper arms and is all bolted to the front crossmember, I paid $50 for it and want to break even, you will not find this in your local yard for this price
