I have a 69 c 10 6 lug truck. drum all around.
I would like to swap to disc frants and convert to 5 lug at the same time. Are there other truck that interchange? What would be the best for budget swapping?

Re: budget disc brake swap
Go find you a 73-87 c-10 and pull the front suspension off of it.You can use just the spindles as long as you switch to the ball joints for the year of the donar parts.I like using the control arms also for a little better ride.It all bolts in.If you use the control arms also you dont have to switch though tou may need to switch tie rod ends.

Re: budget disc brake swap
If it is a coil spring truck try to find a 71-72 chevy truck and swap all the suspension out.
I've done it too many times to count. Rg
