Progress made today!
I was able to just about get the front end together. I picked up the control arms from the local shop. Drilled the old u bolts to the later 9/16" befier ones. Got both control arms installed and greased up. Torques down all the needed bolts to specs I found online.
While installing the center link I ran into the issue with clearance. It was hitting the oil pan when link was centered. Took a grinder to it to make clearance. No issues now.
Here's after clearance.
I spray painted the spindles and will putting those on next. I will also be replacing the brake lines with new ones to refresh everything up.
