Refresher....

Background...My 71 SWB, has been sitting up for about 5 years and is need of some TLC. I am starting off with upgrading the manual disc/drum to power. Then its suspension time. Here is where I need some direction. Since I am going to be in there anyways, I want to do it all.
Ball joints, UCA bushings, LCA bushings, TRE's, idler arm, pitman arm, install swaybar. What I am trying to decide is do I do it with MOOG the good stuff or save some money and get the "shelved" stuff? I know in the long run it'll make sense but I don't put alot of miles on this truck.
What do you guys think?

Re: Refresher....

moog is better and will last longer even if its sitting but even the shelved stuff will last a while

Re: Refresher....

Go with MOOG. I pieced together all the front suspension/steering using auto parts stores and the Early Classic Enterprises MOOG kit and found the ECE kit less expensive.
