Cool Front end and rear end swap

I have a 69 c10 swb that I am looking to swap to a 5 lug and disk brake set up. I amean also looking to swap the rear end, they are both coil spring. I have a donor 71 that I am going to be using for parts, what all do I need from the donor to complete the swap. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated. I'm sorry if this has been covered before but I am new to this and this is my first build. Thank you in advance for the input.

1. Unbolt undesired parts from vehicle.
2. Unbolt desired parts from donor vehicle.
3. Bolt desired parts onto vehicle.
4. Smoky burn outs.

Re: Front end and rear end swap

Are all of the steering components and control arms direct replacement and interchangeable with each other?

Re: Front end and rear end swap

What are the opinions of the steel A-arm bushings vs the later model rubber bushings?
