Thanks lightweight421. I do plan on rebuilding the front end. I plan to use the newer poly bushings, either from Kanter or CPP (Classic Performance Products). Do you know anything about Classic Performance Products brake kits and or front end parts?

I dont think you will be gaining much, maybe a little but for the cost you may want to check with Kanter.com for a front end rebuild kit and simply rebuild the stock front end. I once had a 1964 Mercury Comet, the front end was sloppy and driving it was more or less a constant steering challenge, I had the entire front end rebuild and what a difference, it was actually a joy to drive.
