So let me ask some more questions. This winter's to-do-list for my '65 C10 includes a front suspension and steering rebuild and a dual master cylinder install. The drum brakes and 6 lug hubs however are staying. Contemplating a front sway bar addition also.

Any suggestions regarding rebuilding the oem front end, such as Moog vs. ???? Go with parts from my local NAPA or buy a kit from our host? I really want to avoid foreign made parts.

Me? Offer suggestions? I'm totally new to this hobby! I buy my parts at Autozone, NAPA, Walmart, etc.
