I have a 1952 3600 3/4 ton. I want to go to front disc brakes with a 5 lug hub. I'm told that a 1973 or newer chev pu front subframe will bolt right in. Is this true?

Not sure if the newer one's will fit, but here's one option you can check out. Here's another.

I know there are others, and you might have already looked at these. I'm certain that someone will come by and let you know if it can be done or not though.

Short answer, yes it will.
Long answer, the stance is too wide for some and you will need 1/2 inch spacers between frame and crossmember because the crossmember is an inch wider than frame. You'll also have to transfer the steering from donor as well and then lower the ride cause it'll be way to high in the front after swap.
It would be easier to get a 1/2 ton axle and get the disc brake package that was mentioned earlier.
