68 power disc brake swap? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm about to replace the drum brakes for power disc.
It's a 68,CST,long fleetside.
What I want to know is which is better:
71- 72 disc front end
Or 73 to 87 disc front end
I plan to change the whole thing-crossmember and all.I have both front ends still in the trucks in the yard.
I'm pulling the 327/400 out of the 68 for some repairs and re-paint,so now would be a good time to do the disc brake change while everything is out of the way.
Hope to be done for 'Crusin The Coast this fall!
Thanks for any help or advice!
Mike.
