junkyards woud be agood start. whoesalers, and places like the bronco graveyard. should be abe to get you a good dea, also keep an eye out for a donor truck that you could buy to use the suspension off of.

Are you wanting to replace the cast parts or rubber parts, and king pins. If it's that bad be sure to clean and inspect things such as the radias arm and I beam mounts. Ive have to replace several of these on later model trucks.

I got all the front end parts for my 69 F-100 at local parts stores with no problems. Schucks ordered my coil springs, but I had them the next day. They had all the steering linkage in stock. Shocks were no problem. NAPA had the king pins. The only thing I mail ordered were the bushings because I wanted poly instead of rubber. You just need to find a parts store that has someone that knows something.

Kingpin sets are about $50 and then an additional $50-$75 to have them pressed in for you. Axle pivot bushings, radius arm bushings and rear leaf-spring bushings are very inexpensive at virtually any parts store.

Watch parts store ads for shocks. They put them on sale all the time. I just saw an ad for Sears auto center that had Monroe gas truck shocks 50% off for their memorial day sale.

i replaced all 4 shcoks on my 68 for around $80, took 35 minutes (easy). Autozone always has what i need.
