Drew, if you have to cut and reflare the brake lines, make SURE you have a double flaring tool, all brake lines have to double flared, or the flare can stress and break, also my local O'Reillys carries Moog suspension parts, please, don't go cheap and make sure you buy name brand suspension and steering parts like Moog or TRW, the safety is well worth the litte extra money.
I paint everything with Krylon semi-flat black, seems to hold up well
And congrats on getting back to the truck!!
