Thanks Hellbent,
Everything is new. All of the Porterbuilt stuff front and rear was finished and I've been driving the truck on weekends since spring. The creaking is a relatively new development. Only my I6 motor mounts were loose at the motor ( and appear to be a real pain in the butt to get a wrench on). The PB control arm bushings are delrin and the sway arm appear to be rubber. No poly anywhere. I have gobs of grease oozing out of my ball joints no matter how many times I wipe them off, if that's not normal. No grease ports for control arm shafts, but you wouldn't lube delrin bushings anyway.
