R and R front suspension - where to start???

[hpcgmc]

I've pulled the motor on my 67 GMC and am about to start rebuilding the front end. My plan is to keep the original subframe, replace all suspension rubber and then add a 6 lug disc brake setup, probably from Classic Heartbeat, since I like dealing with Wes. While I'm at it, I'll put in a power steering unit and sway bar. I'm also degreasing and painting the suspension, frame rails and engine bay.

I have no idea where to start on the front suspension rebuild (a arm rubber, tie rods, ball joints, etc). Should I remove the crossmember to replace the suspension parts? This will make it easier to clean and paint, but I don't want to create more work for myself. Will I need to have parts pressed in? (I dont have a press).

Thanks for any input.
