142 rear end in 122? 120-130

Hi I was wondering if anyone has installed a 142 or 140 series rear end into a 122 and what was required if they documented it, I know that the 142 rear end is 1.8" wider but that shouldn't be a big deal as I am using different wheels which the offset should fix that change. What about the fronts what should I do to change the bolt pattern? get 1800e hubs?
I am looking for someone who has done this to give me some pointers on what I need to look out for, I realize I ened to change the panhard attachement to the other side and put spring perches on the rear end and also make the rods to mount the rear end.
My 122 is a 1961 and I want to upgrade it all to disc brakes and the 5x108 bolt pattern and LSD ala truetrac as I am tired of these Dana 27's giving out.
Regards,
Sean
