New member, new '60 apache project questions

Hello everyone,

I picked up this 1960 Apache in Minnesota two years ago and it was transported there from North Dakota or Montana I believe. I am in michigan.

I got distracted on another project and life but now I've been working on it. I have tons of questions and have done some searching here but haven't found everything, but I admit I also can't find my keys I just sat down on the counter either.

So I appreciate any and all help and patience.

I currently have a built 350 with a turbo 400 installed. I need a complete interior, brakes, truck bed replacement.

*Let me start with these questions. And if you can direct me to a thread about it or answer direct I would appreciate it.

1. Brakes - I currently have drum brakes all around I would love to have disc up front so that leads to two questions, has anyone found an easy front axle swap or way to convert to disc brakes? If it's a front axle swap is there a thread on it and what / make donor vehicle did it come from?

2. And what have you found is a good master cylinder to use?

3. What year / make donor front seat have you found? I would like to keep a bench seat. Although I may end up with a floor shifter unless I can find how to get the auto shift up on the steering column.

(I still have the 1995 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 donor vehicle the engine came out of if that's of any help)

Thank you - Leinhit
