1970 brake upgrade question

[jsmithbm]

Hey guys, i've got a 70 swb stepside. Im looking to upgrade the front brakes to disc. I've read several previous post on here. But i wanted a straight answer on this topic.
1- What is needed to put disk brakes on the front?
2- will a 71 knuckle/spindle fit in the upper and lower control arms?
3- i have a power brake booster, do i need to run new steel lines?

thanks

i was going to buy most of the stuff from a/m store like oreillys instead of pulling the old stuff.

#2 yes the spindle will fit, but you'll need to change the ball joints and tie rods and center link

#3 does your truck already have power brakes or are you adding....if adding, you'll probably have to re-plumb some of the lines
