Since I am replacing my '67 drum brakes with '79 disc brakes I am guessing it's safe to order new r/a and t/a bushings for a '79? It appears they are the same fit but I want to make sure.
Does it matter what year bump stops I order?
Where is a good place to get suspension parts?
I hope I don't drive you people crazy with all my amatuer questions, I'm winging it but still trying to maintain a quality job.

Re: Front End Bushings
After looking at the NPD website (which has great exploded diagrams) I found that the part numbers are the same for '67 and '79 pivot axle bushings and trailing arm bushings. The bump stops are not the same number. I am going to assume that if I order a bump stop for a '67 I should be ok.
<slaps forehead> I just had a news flash, it's all the same except for the kingpins,...geez, nevermind.
