You might want to consider a 73-87 front components for your disc brake swap. The parts are cheaper, more readily available, and the a-arms are rubber bushed. (smoother ride). I would try to obtain a complete front end assembly from the 73-87 era and rebuild it. Also I think around '81(?) the power steering fittings changed to metric. Not for sure on the exact year. I would be interested in a quicker steering box if it was an easy swap. Some people are using rack and pinion's to get a quicker ratio. I think Jim Meyer Racing has something available to work with "his" front ends for our trucks.
