orrie, that is why I always suggest to get the frame out from under and do some hands on checking for square, sag and out of round. it would suck to spend $2500 on a new front end and find out after that the frame was in need of a pull one way or the other.
some of the items I posted can be ideas used for any vehicle getting restored or hot-rodded. I always say take lots of pics as you take stuff apart so you can reference them in a couple of years when you are putting the stuff back together. remove things, put the bolts back in where they came from. box it and tag it. same reason.
