In need of some advice

First off, I'll admit I'm a bit incompetent when it comes to working on vehicles. I'm a total newbie gearhead, and have nobody to help me out. I just yanked out the motor on my '72 4x4 today, and will be installing my new crate motor in the upcoming weeks. Now, onto my question:

Before I put the new motor in, I was wanting to overhaul the front wheel assemblies. I want to replace everything from the end of the axle outward. I know I'll need wheel bearings and hubs, calipers and brakes, and I think I need new U-joints as well. But what else do I need? Could someone kindly make me a list that I can take to the parts store tomorrow? I want to be sure I have everything I need to get the job done.

Thanks in advance!

ETA: I'm pretty sure I can re-use the knuckles. Is that correct?

Re: In need of some advice

I would try asking this question on the 4x4 forum. You might get some help from the others there and if not heres a bump.
