Hello guys,
I am sure that there are several threads on rebuilding the front steering and suspension joint for a an early bus/ truck but I can't locate recommendations on the best place to buy the components. I really don't want to buy junk and have to replace the items again in a few years.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Russell

I cant say what the BESTt is. I would guess some really well preserved NOS stuff.
On my 66 Deluxe, I went with Meyle drag link and tie rod ends.
German co. but made in Turkey.
Seem well made but we shall see.
Shop around though, prices are all over the place.
I bought mine at autohausaz.com
about 35 bucks each piece, free ship and no tax outside AZ.
My center pin was Febi. German.
Dampner Cofap brazil.
king and links were in my buddys parts stash,
I think they were Wolfgang Rebuilt.
Wolfgang also rebuilds steering boxes.
I have one in my 61 Crewcab. Its nice.
There are a few places here in the classifieds that offer spindle rebuild is you need it.
Campingbox has a good rep.
I have a set of his for my 61 Crewcab but haven't installed yet.
They look nice though!
