you might try www.fabtechmotorsports.com
you could use a lift coils, but may have problems with tire wear. the back would have to be lifted with coils as well, and that may be a custom job.

Fabtech and the others would be an excellent place to start. Give them a call and see if you can order just the front end for the 73+ trucks! Since the front suspensions are pretty much the same. Remember that you have drums up front, and discs were factory starting in 71. This gives you the perfect reason to swap to discs!!!
You may be able to keep your drums if the $$$ doesn't work for you, but I don't know if the ball joint problem will be easily fixed  Good luck with the install...

Ive got some buick rear coil springs i was going to try to use in a firebird but they were alot taller than the birds springs but they might work for trucks althou i doubt the truck could still haul anything.
Might try that if your just going for looks i imagine they would ride ok as i recall they came off of a mid 80s regal or something along those lines |

the 73+ front systems are just coils, spacers, and maybe tube arms. they use to make lift spindles but due to low demand quit. nobody that i have found makes them again. you can modify 88+ spindles to fit...... but i am not up on the process yet. I have a different plan for my truck and have no need for that route.
