What should I get?

I will be going to get the power gear box, sway bar and brake booster from my grandfather's totaled 86 1/2 ton chevy.

I have a 70 c10 no options.

What else should I get? I have not see the condition of the truck.
The motor and tranny are gone.

I thought about the disk brakes, but don't mind the drums with power for now.
This would also mean five lug rally rims and i would also have to look for a new rearend, right?
I think the 6 lug look alot tougher.

If i do get the disk brakes I've read to take the whole engine crossmember, is this correct?
Just wondering, why the auto tranny crossmember, my truck is standard?

thanks.

Correct, you take the whole crossmember. I think you could use the rearend as well, might have to do some welding though.
I'd definately grab the tranny crossmember, if you don't need it then someone else will.
