PST, CPP are a couple of vendors. Best to check in Truckin or Street Rodder magazines at any grocery news section.

hey cdowns, that's a cool site but it stops at '86-es. . . Know of any good places that'd have kits for an '88?

I'm currently mixing and matching parts from various places until I get 'em all to do a complete front-end rebuild at one time (currently have tie rod ends, lower ball joints, idler arm, center link, need control arms (since you can't replace just the bushings apparently on the K2500s), upper ball joints, etc.) You could do it that way and save shelling out the big $$$ for a kit all at once, but then again, it might just be easier to get a kit and then you KNOW you have everything you need. If I had to do it again, that's how I'd do it.
