Screw you guys, I'm going home.
Half-ass progress. Got the drag link off the pitman arm, track bar is gone, shocks out, coils are off the buckets and I just need to pull four bolts to get the links out - left them in to do some front axle figuring. Also, turns out the Jeep is light enough that I can pick the front end up off the axle now, that's how I made sure everything was unbolted. :)
Front axle choices. Next post has picture of steering/track bar geometry. Turns out the Chevy D60 has some stuff in the way of all that, so I'm thinking I may be better off swapping the Chevy knuckles on the Ford axle, or selling both and finding a Ford HP D60 and running with that. I need to do some more measuring on the Ford D60 I have to decide whether it's wide enough to work with the 14b rear and what to do about axle shafts.
Old steering and track bar locations.

Was it Maveric of Paul that painted your draglink?
Blake and Paul did it one weekend when I was in Eagle Pass.
Possible coil and LCA brackets, not sure what to do about uppers.

i've got an HP d60 for ya pm me if interested
Here's the Rubicon Express front axle bracket kit. Not sure what to do here, I don't really think either of the choices I've found are ideal for any D60 setup...

Wtf do the shock mounts bolt on top of the kingpin?
what is that kingpin axle you have out of? looks like 78-79 ford but is it lp
It's from a 76 Ford - Just weird enough that you have to get creative with inner axle shafts to find stock length ones that will work. Not completely sure I want to use it yet but it's free for now so I may just set it up and worry about buying shafts when the time comes.
