Re: brakes

I'm not too sure on if the frames are the same, but on the 67+ trucks the front crossmembers from 71+ trucks will bolt in place, giving you updated brakes and suspension. Then you just need to replace the booster/master cylinder and plumb it up. You just need to find out if the frames are close enough for it to work for you.

Re: brakes

You can do a complete front crossmember swap easier and cheaper than buying the parts singular. Just stay with 3/4 ton, and stay 1987 & below.
