I went with MOOG parts for mine (still haven't installed them yet). I got mine from Rock Auto.

No need for a steering stabilizer for a 2wd, so don't waste your money on that.

The center link is a non wear item and it not replaced unless damaged. The same one is used for 67-70 and 71-87. If yours is not bent, just clean it up and reuse it. If you need another one, you most likely will have to find one at a junk yard as I don't think anyone repros those.

Sorry, no info for shocks. Last '68 I had, my buddy at Bilstein built me a set. My current truck I got the KYB with the kit from Early Classic.

Sounds like you're on the right track. Are you replacing wheel bearings or any of the brake parts? SSince you will have everything a part, it might be a good time to go through the brakes and bearings.

Good luck!
