I also have a 1965 short stepside. Doing the disc brake swap was easy and I used a kit from CPP that bolted right on with my existing ball joints. I used a salvage yard 1995 Blazer brake MC and booster and a special bracket for bolting it all onto the firewall. Getting the PS all rigged up on my inline 230 was a bigger challenge but I eventually got that done too. It will be much easier getting the required PS brackets for you 283.
So I do recommend the upgrades. The front disc brakes will really improve my stopping power.
