BE CAREFULL with those coil springs. I used a spring compressor I "borrowed" from autozone. Some guys will tell you that you can use a good hydraulic jack, just be careful. I swapped a complete 67 suspension for a complete 71 disk brake suspension, but I tore it completely apart, repainted everything and replaced all the same parts you listed above. I'd never done it before (except for going to a friends garage for use of the ball joint comressor thingy) I did everything at home in the driveway. I then took it to be aligned. If your truck has never had this done you may need a grinder cause I'm pretty sure original upper ball joints had rivvets holding them in. I think there's only four of them and they grind out pretty easily.
