Yes you can if your rear end is a leaf spring set up. Wont work if it is coil springs

Yep...the front x-members will swap as well....go ahead and use the booster and all...probably the easiest route is to unbolt and swap

Don't tell me you're going to rob parts off that nice blue truck just to get disc brakes.

Just buy some $219 dollar 63-70 conversion spindles and auto parts stor 1-1/4" rotors and calipers,... and add them too your white '70.
Use a 71-72 M/C and prop valve and you are done.
For the rear,... buy a set of Moser axles and 71-72 5-lug brake drums.

The days of finding oem parts to do disc brake conversions are over.
And a crossmember swap is completely unneccessary!

Just my opinion,... but that's crazy.
You will have to buy rearend saddles for the trailing arm rearend.
You will also have to buy a super track bar since the later rearend has no place to attach the track bar.

I could understand if it was a beater parts truck,... but to destroy a perfectly good squarebody just to get the brakes?

So the 70s set up won't work on the 87 I'm sorry I don't much about it

No.
Not without spending a bunch of money, parts swapping, brake tube bending, and bleeding, etc.
Not just a bunch of parts swapping.
I assume your '70 has trailing arms, not leaf springs?

The prop valves are in different locations, M/C are diffferent, etc.
Plus,... who would want that squarebody with drum brakes?

Sell the blue truck and buy a disc brake kit for your 70,...

It's not about the money I was just mad at 87 lol
