Late model brakes for my '67 C20

Maybe it's my inexperience with this site but I can't seem to get the search to work for looking up this subject in previous posts.

So here's the question: What year, model components would be best to use for converting to front disc brakes? Money is an object at this time so what's the most economical route?

OR...........is there a later model chassis that I could roll under my body without too much modification.

I am still in the "mental" stages of planning for my truck, so ALL advice and suggestions will be appreciated and considered.

Thanks in advance!

CrashBob

I think I understand everything except what is 55$pa a frame? The 73-81 will just bolt up then, that's good to know.

Thanks

Actually, you should only need to boneyard you a set of spindles and brake calipers. Then when you get your new ball joints, just get them for the year of truck that the spindles came off of.

Re: Late model brakes for my '67 C20

Isn't there supposed to be a proportioning valve somewhere in the mix? Also, will my current mastercylinder and booster work?

So many questions...........so few answers
