I also used PST and went with the poly/graphite. You can borrow most of the tools from O'Reilly and others. But if you break it you buy it. I may have the big socket??
My stepson had helped me and it was done in a few days. We also did the disc brake conversion. Oh yes and we replaced the torsion bars.
Let me know if I can help you with something.

63 Sport Fury ragtopI got my parts from Performance Suspension Technology (PST) . That was EVERYTHING except the pitman. More expensive than Rock Auto, but better stuff IMO. For an old guy (like me), it's a bunch of work from jack stands. I also did the steering chuck, and let me tell you getting the pitman arm off is a bitch. Broke 4 pullers in the process. Pitman might not be necessary for your situation though. It was a winter job for the full suspension, another winter for the chuck, pitman and coupler rebuild. (a couple nights a week, couple hours on saturdays, my back won't allow a full assault... LOL ) Very worth it in the end. If you have the time and patience do it yourself. Figure on buying some tools to go with the parts.Doug--On Thu, Apr 6, 2017 at 9:16 PM, <62-65-mail-list-club@ornocar.org > wrote:DIY if you have the time and place to do the work.
