For the front, just get the spring and everything above the spring and the
rubber ring the spring sits on. It would be easiest at the salvage yard to
just take the whole strut assy, spring, shock and all. You will have
everything you need then. If I were doing this, I would buy new the strut
and the rubber isolator pad under the spring and the part that pivots at the
top. Those parts are not expensive and they are prone to wear and
breakdown.
For the rear, I have never taken one out but I am sure if you get everything
you can unbolt from the axle and the car body, You'll have everything you
need. Again, don't bother buying used shocks (that's like buying a used
toothbrush), get some nice new load sensing or air adjustable shocks.

David, I was pricing new struts, springs and shocks.
The price is not bad. My concern is that if I
purchase these items, and go to install, that there
may be pieces that are needed from a donor. Did you
run into this scenario? Did you do the install
yourself?
What parts do you (or anyone) have leftover after
conversion? I am having problems with my right right
strut. If anyone has one, please let me know a price
plus shipping to 22701.
