about to buy suspension parts - any advice autozone / rock auto/ advance / napa?

[neverwinter]

hi all

well i was able to get my 79 c10 suspension all disassembled. going to replace all ball joints, etc before securing to the 63 frame.

there are so many prices and varying levels of quality out there i thought i'd ask those who have used the parts for any advice.

ideally i'd like the truck to become a daily driver sort. nothing radical engine wise. just the stock 283 with maybe some bolt on goodies.

so wondering - are there major differences between autozone or advance, napa or rock auto in terms of price/quality for ball joints and suspension items.
this isnt a 20k miler per year truck and i'll spend for the right quality to only do it once. but if the 15$ ball joints are good for low-to avegrage miles per year obv i'd like to save where i can.

lastly do i buy shocks for the 799 or for the 63 since i am replacing the ones that were on the 63 with ones from the 79 - but the ones from 79 are toast.

thanks for any input.
