I agree^^^.
There is nothing in that 72 crossmember assembly, that you don't already have on your truck.
(except the disc brake spindles)
If your adding drop spindles,... then there is NOTHING that you need.
The rotors, calipers, bearings,... should all be replaced with new.
The 71-72 steering linkage is a plus,... but not neccessary any more with the new conversion spindles for 63-70 trucks. ($228/pair)
Just a thought.

The only advantage to spending $200 on the extra parts,... it would allow you to rebuild them in your spare time.
Then swap all the parts later.
I'm not sure it's worth $200.
I think most of it will be replaced with new parts anyway.
