how much will front end parts run me??

[jasonroman]

well folks i have an 82 chevy c10. just picked truck up about 2 weeks or so ago. speedo dont work along with a couple of other things. but since speedo dont work i figured id have to buy an inspection sticker. took it to a shop in edison where i figured id just pay for a sticker. late in the day i get a call and the dude tells me he just cant do it.
started rattling off thing that were wrong with truck. i hung up phone. when i went to pick truck up, dude showed me a 2 page list of things that need fixn.
mostley in my front end.
shocks, tie rods, bearings, and a whole bunch of other things up front. unfortunatley, i dont remember all the stuff wrong, but i thought maybe all i needed was a tune up and someone to hook up speedo. i know truck pulls to the right, figured alignement, but maybe its all the stuff thats messed up up front is why truck pulls so much. not sure where to start or what to look at.
not much of a mechanic. wish i was.....
id really like to keep truck and fix as i go. but dont have thousands to spend on fixing up an 82 right now.
o yea, im the one who was told truck had vette engine and is either a 305 or 350 with 305 heads???still didnt find numbers on block.
