1962 drop and discs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm new to the board here and i have a not-so-original question. I can see it has been discussed here before but i cannot find anything specifically for 60-62.

I'm looking for the best way to drop the front and rear and possibly switch to disc brakes in the front at the same time. I don't want to spend a fortune and from what i understand later model chevy truck crossmembers will bolt up, but not sure if that is the way to go vs. a disc brake kit and drop spindles.

If the later model is the way to go can somone give me specifics on donor truck and tips on the mod? I see from the sticky that the crossmember can be left untouched. If i want to get a healthy drop do i need to use drop spindles on the later truck suspension?
