Front end suspension rebuild kit
 
On my 64, everything on the front end is original and parked for 15+ years.

I was looking at replacing all this via a kit I found online. Have you guys found all this to be necessary or worth the time?

OUTER LEFT-HAND TIE ROD
OUTER RIGHT-HAND TIE ROD
LEFT-HAND TIE ROD SLEEVE
RIGHT-HAND TIE ROD SLEEVE
SWAY BAR FRAME BUSHING INSULATORS (2 EACH)
LEFT-HAND UPPER BALL JOINT
RIGHT-HAND UPPER BALL JOINT
LEFT-HAND LOWER BALL JOINT
RIGHT-HAND LOWER BALL JOINT
LEFT-HAND UPPER CONTROL ARM SHAFT KIT
RIGHT-HAND UPPER CONTROL ARM SHAFT KIT
LEFT-HAND LOWER CONTROL ARM SHAFT KIT
RIGHT-HAND LOWER CONTROL ARM SHAFT KIT

Thanks for the tips

Never hurts to upgrade the suspension or brakes to some newer parts as long as the parts are quality pieces and not cheap chinese parts. Suspension parts have come a long way in the 50 years since these trucks were made. Although not always necessary, you should notice a difference in the ride and handeling of the truck by replaceing the parts above. If replaceing all these parts, Id heavily consider new springs and shocks too, or at least new shocks.

Early Classic has a total front end rebuild kit with Moog parts. It's around $600, but you get all you need to totaly upgrade the front end.
