Best front end rebuild kits "?" - 03/22/12 11:40 PM

I was under my recently acquired pick up ('76 Adventurer sport, two wheel drive) putting on shocks yesterday. Well, I now know, I should stay out from under it till I get other things done around the house. Anyway I see I'm in need of a front end rebuild. Yep, all the rubber is shot. Truck drives OK, tires are wearing OK too, but I can't stand knowing this and not doing anything about it. So, my question: where to get the best deal on a front end rebuild kit?
I'll be putting the kit in (oh, to have a hoist (or access to one )).

Do they make the full kit, or am I going to have to pick and assemble it on my own?

You will have to pick your own but you need to learn the parts eventually so do some research, learn the terminology before you get there so you know better how to do the job, before you dig into it. You also might need a couple of special tools and you should obtain them before you encounter a hold up during the job. Im not sure on the front end design of your truck but someone here will help build the parts list. I would be able to help if the design was the same as the earlier car front ends but that I dont know.

Rock Auto has a scam going on with shipping, Call Bill Rollik and get a raybestos "MADE IN THE USA" kit. Tim

Scam? I have bought a lot of parts from them over many years and never an issue with shipping? Also excellent customer service, they even sent me a shipping label for return shipping, when I admitted ordering the wrong part and they sent the correct part before receiving my wrong part back. I will continue to use them until I encounter a bad experience.

There was a thread last week on the wierd way that Rock Auto calculates shipping charges. It was a heated debate.....
