Searching for front end rebuild kit

Ok, I am not a mechanic, but I am completely capable of working on my vehicles. One of the things I have the most trouble with, is finding the right parts for my 1965 Delta 88. I know that the front end rebuild kit I need is out there, somewhere, in cyberspace. I just want to make sure I am getting the right one. I have been on Kanters website, but I think it has crashed. What other model GM has a front end compatible with the 88? Please help. I would love to get my Betty back on the road this weekend.

Thanks,
CW

Rockauto looks to have most everything you need, and in Moog brand!
They only lacked the upper ball joints (in any brand) and front springs for cars with A/C.
Getting a complete pre-packaged kit for your car may be difficult, so consider getting each part separately.

BTW, welcome to the site! Post a picture of your Delta soon!

Thumbs up front ends bits

mate , i contacted both the mentioned "dealers" for the same thing for my 64 , i still have not had a reply back from both of them on freight cost and if the parts are in stock and that was now 3months ago..... as before i parted with my money from a ebay power seller parts store for some parts only to be told they are not in stock and then waited a month for a refund

in the end i purchased my parts of amazon...yeh i know wot ya thinkin , BUT these very same brand parts cost nearly half the price and frieght was a quarter of the price!! got em in around 14days to australia...do ya homework mate and save sum bucks!

Instead of cheapin' out with garbage parts-------

Maybe you LOVE your car and would prefer to go with N.O.S. U.S.A. made components -- any of the "dealers' will offer simply the reproduced (mostly made in India) parts.....

If you LOVE your car and would like to go with some quality parts, it may be a tad more money ----- but well worth it ----- you only have to do it once,
period............... call me -- Craig -- 516- 485 - 1935... New York...
