The '71-'87 suspension will have disc brakes and be 5 lug.

Yeah that’s what I’ve come to find out, seems straightforward, but my question is do I even need to buy and install the stock suspension, or can I just buy it all aftermarket and save myself some time...

The one thing you can not buy aftermarket is the crossmember, unless you go with a completely different aftermarket suspension such as the Porterbilt

I'm kinda surprised they sold it, the lady was pretty hyped about it. Those extra holes in the cargo area held a '57 Chevy 2 door seat that is now in my hardtop. Heres some of your panels provenance:

This is great information, they told me they bought it as a grad present for their granddaughter, and plans changed.
