Problem is, don't know if I'd be buying $140 bucks worth of usable stuff with so many different opinions on how to do it. But, this is how it might work out:

I have to 1st order the custom rotors so the Junkyard knows what spindles to give me, different sizes were given for the different thickness rotors. He'll sell me the spindles and calipers for about 35-40 each side. I go home, and try it out. If that doesn't work right, he said then he'll go tear down the whole truck for the rest. And we buy a proportioning vavle from some place else, since he thinks it's not needed... lulz.

He says he's done this swap before too, but so had the 67-72 forum guys and their way. But, might as well try the cheapest option 1st before buying the rest of the suspension of the doner 73-87 truck.
