1970 tie rod ends & sleeves + upper & lower ball joints + idler arm

[Eric1970]

Greetings, all.

I've searched the forums a bit, though still haven't found what I'm looking for.

The truck is a 1970 c10 long-bed, step-side.
The front brakes have been converted to disc.
Shocks are also relatively new.

I have the inner & outer tie rod ends, tie rod sleeves, upper and lower ball joints and idler arm to install, as well as all of the associated polyurethane. I had to have the pitman arm installed by others a while back, as it was below zero with ice pack on the ground, however, it wasn't enough.

I'm currently in monsoon season here, and my only workspace is an uncovered gravel driveway.

Are there photos and step by step instructions anywhere to replace these components, or does anyone know the order and what tools I need to accomplish this? I am also wondering if there is anything else I ought to be doing while I'm down there and have it apart. I have a jack, jack stands and a compressor, as well as basic hand tools.

Any insight of what's required to get this done would be appreciated.

Seems like the ball joints are the trickiest.

Thank You,

Eric

Additional info:
Truck is rear wheel drive.
Front disc brakes are an aftermarket conversion kit, made specifically for the year, so the spindles match.
Pretty sure I replaced the springs when I did the disc brake conversion, though it's been a while, so I don't remember (have to check parts receipts).

Self resolved.

Ball joints will have to wait;
Tie rod ends and sleeves, tightening passenger side control arm and wheel bearing ought to get me through winter.

Cheers!
