Reconstruction
Following others' advice I took lots of pics during disassembly which has proved to be invaluable. With the undercoating everything was well protected, though difficult to clean up. I was able to identify the original colors of brackets etc and save inspection marks/stickers.
I know most replace every bolt. I am the opposite and have put back every original bolt after cleaning and coating. Some were in original condition, while others had to be taken down to metal to get all the undercoating off. I did replace the brake lines, tie rods, and lower ball joints even though they were all in excellent shape. I did not replace the upper ball joints as they are original riveted in and still in good condition.
