All of the front mods will work, but with the differences of the bushings in the controls arms, the rack and pinion conversion will hit the lower control arm bushing in the stock 1979 lower arms.

I did everything to my son's '82 that was done to JT. I replaced the lower controls arms with PBFab's Lower Forward arms and that fixed the bushing interference. Rob did the same to JT later in its development.

If those are out of you budget, get a set of lower arms from a 64-72 C10. They have a smaller metal bushing that does not hit the rack conversion.
