Get the front end off the ground.
Grab a wheel at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock and shake.
If it wobbles 6 - 12 (top to bottom) it is the ball joints.
then grab 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock (side to side)
if it gives or you feel slack then its tie rods (pitman or idler also).
Considering how old these trucks are now Id say pretty much everyone's bushings are shot if they been driven on much.
Upper and Lower control arms.
PST is the only one I know of that sells a complete kit, but Moog is better and Michael Hood just gave me all the Moog numbers so I'll pimp them.
