What are good, later model donors for 60-66 model Chevy trucks? Which ones provide the easiest overall swaps (power steering, power brakes, disk brakes, etc.)?

I beleive the 67-72 IFS will bolt into your frame and use same bolt holes and all. If you get the later (70's) of these, they have disc brakes. You can use the 73 up too but need to put 1/2" or so spacers betwwen the frame and IFS bolt on spots. I'm thinking holes for them are same too. I know a fella that has done this and working on it in his garage now. I saw it and it looked like "stock". He bought all new brake parts to use on his. I think once you get into around 63 and up, lots more stuff is "adaptable" then it was with earlier models with stovebolt engines and such.

GL, Do you know if what you said about spacers would apply to putting a 74 1/2 ton IFS on a 58 frame? Is this possible?
