5.3 vortec swap into a 67 c-10

You can graft the 71-2 or 73+ stuff onto that front crossmember and get disc brakes and power steering from the donor. Pretty cheap, and pretty bolt on. In certain cases you have to space the pump off the frame or use a little adapter plate. I can't remember on the year specifics, but I wouldn't doubt Captain Fab makes something for it (look him up on here).

Whether or not your gauges work depends on which gauges you have now, and which setup you go with. The electronic trannies output a VSS signal instead of a cable output, so it requires a special adapter for the speedo output to work with an oldschool cable speedo. Things like voltage and oil pressure gauges (mechanical) will work fine. You may need a different sending unit for the oil pressure (electric) and temp, as the ranges on the old gauges and the new senders are different.
