I am wanting to put disc brakes on a 1964 C-10. I don't care about keeping it original. I also don't want to buy the new conversion after market kits if I don't have to. Does someone know what parts if any and off of what years will interchange. I am looking to buy a donor truck and don't really know what to look for. Thanks.

Welcome to the 'Bolt. You can swap the spindles from a '73-'87 C10 to you're '64 by swapping in the ball joints from the later trucks. It's a vritual bolt in. It will convert it to 5 lug on the front, so you might consider using the rear axle from the doner truck as well to keep the same pattern all around.

Thanks for the info. That is exactly the answer I wanted because I have found a 1979 chevy I am buying already for the motor and transmission. I am also going to swith the power steering gear box. So after I switch the spindles and gear box what parts do I use for the rest of the steering(tie rods, etc.) I'm just not sure about the width difference in these trucks. Thanks.

the later trucks 1.5"wider.use all the steering from the later truck.you will need a kit to mount the steering box.around 65 dollars.you will have to drill two holes for the later idler.just make a template from the donor truck to locate the holes.
