hello so i just picked up a 1989 c1500 extended cab 5.7tbi 2wd and I'm going to be rebuilding transmission and engine with a carb swap once i take them off and inspect. right of the bat the power steering shaft is leaking and transmission is covered in sludge on the outside so I'm expecting to do a full rebuild of the 700r, the driveshaft is also leaking at bearing connection to the transmission, etc to much to continue.
so i would like to replace everything down there
front diff
rear diff
driveshaft
steering shaft and related components to powering steering
pitman arm
Idler Arm Bracket Assembly
idler arm
tie rod and tie rod end inner and outer and adjusting sleeve
center link
stabilizer bar and link
sway bar and link and bushings
control arms all sides upper and lower
Caster / Camber Cam Bolt Kit
strut rod
steering knuckle
axle shafts
can someone fill the recommended parts list for this builds and if i missed anything add it in and if i need any special tools to make this go by smoother also recommend that as well?
thanks in advance!
also if it is smart to lift now while upgrading parts can you recommend also? what ever the standard lift height is..
