59 panel truck ? on alot of stuff

59 3/4 ton with w 9600GVW weight rating pacific body on it. straight frame naturally

manualy steering is shot... box manly.. planing on going to power steering... i saw borthers swap/upgrade and read what they did. any one got some pointers? or did brother cover majority of it?

brakes the previos owner re-did 3 out of 4 wheel cylinders and new master cylinder. it has what looks like a bastardized vacuum boost over hyd setup on the the pass side. it does lock up all 4 wheel on med- heavy pedal pressure... i want to convert to dual chamber MC for saftey reasons and convert to hydroboost so i can keep my manual tranny.....

it also has an eaton rear end... are there any code on the housing to dipic gears and dif setup?
i also heard the gm 14bolt brake hubs, carrier and axle shaft will fit inside? i would like to put soem dually drums on the back.. (13x3" brake shoes vs the 13x2" shoes.

leave springs... were can i get new eye bushings?

thanks adam
