I found a possible disc brake setup

They supposedly came from a '72 chevy truck.

Could these be reconditioned and put into my '70?

Is it worth the effort?

If so what else would I need to make it all work?

Re: I found a possible disc brake setup

Sure, it's a common swap. Get that sway bar too. Even if your truck already has one, it's good trade fodder. If not, put it on your truck.
