Front end suspension rebuild kit
On my 64, everything on the front end is original and parked for 15+ years.
I was looking at replacing all this via a kit I found online. Have you guys found all this to be necessary or worth the time?

Re: Front end suspension rebuild kit
Never hurts to upgrade the suspension or brakes to some newer parts as long as the parts are quality pieces and not cheap chinese parts. Suspension parts have come a long way in the 50 years since these trucks were made. Although not always necessary, you should notice a difference in the ride and handeling of the truck by replaceing the parts above. If replaceing all these parts, Id heavily consider new springs and shocks too, or at least new shocks.
