Newbie here! hello all...few questions....
Hey guys I've got a '66 swb stepside. It belonged to my wife's great grandfather who bought it from his neighbor in '68. It's got 58,000 miles on it and I was told the truck never left the county and hardly ever got ever got over 35 mph. It's always been kept under a shelter so it's not in too bad of shape. It was given to me by the family because I'm the only gearhead in the family and nobody else has a clue how to work on it. I'm very anxious to get started on the project. So far ive come up with these parts in my junkyard search....complete front suspension, master cyl., booster, and prop valve from an '82, a power gearbox from a '77, and a tilt column from a '78 van. you guys think I'm on the right track? The shift indicator pointer is broken off the van column, do any of you know where I can find this piece? Thanks guys...

hello.
I'm new too, happy to be here. Will your front suspension from the 82 bolt up or will you use the spindles etc on the a arms? I have been told that the cross member/ saddle will bolt up to the frame in the same location as the original unit, what do you think? I have a 1965 Carryall (Suburban) that I want to convert to disc brakes. For parts I have a 1985 gmc that has been socked in the face, but the damage is just to the outer frame horns so I hope it will bolt up. Any suggestions or ideas will be appreciated.
