Also if the knuckles are still smooth and un pitted or gouged they would be useful for either a 1/2 or 3/4 ton restoration. While closed knuckle front ends and HO axels are definitely an acquired taste, one man’s trash is truly another’s treasure in this hobby.
Good luck with the project. Looks like you are preparing to do everything to a high standard. Please share pics of your progress.

Hi Tom!
I will most likely list the left over parts here on the board for sale when I am done with my chassis. I definitely won't be trashing anything. I just don't want to get rid of anything yet until I know that it will all work out. I had contemplated just redoing the existing axles, but I really wanted disc's in the front, and this is a more economical solution for now.
I have been keeping a journal / build thread detailing my progress here with lots of pictures.
