upgrade frt end for 1967 p/u

i'm hot rodding a 1967 fleetside truck. does anyone out there know of another front end that will give me what i want, i.e. disc brakes, rack and pinion steering and good handling characteristics. i'm prepared to do massive amounts of fabrications/modifications. it will be as low as possible. is all this possible or am i dreaming...............thanx!!!!

A Porter Built C4 Drop member will get you low & you will have Corvette C4 suspension

That was my first thought. If you are wanting rack and pinion and low, I think that would be the way to go.
