Suspension and steering questions
 
A guy wants me to do a disc brake swap on his 1970 truck. I have a complete front suspension from a 1978 truck to use the control arms out. my plan is to leave the original crossmember in place so I don't have to deal with the engine. The truck has had power steering already added, if I use the 73-87 centerlink will a pitman arm for them years work on the 67-72 gearbox? I plan on using the 73-87 tie rods and centerlink.

He also wants to go to power brakes while doing this. Could I use the brake booster and master cylinder off the 1978 on the 1970 cab? Would I run into any issues with rod coming off of the brake pedal?

After looking somemore I see the brake boosters are completely different. What would need to do to go from manual brakes to power?
