I found the bearings and I am waiting on the wiper seals. For the time being I'll keep the closed knuckle but if I keep this truck I might trade for some later model stuff.
I did find out why the drag link was hitting the U-bolts. That top block was not designed for my spring. There is really nothing keeping it centered and it walked over to one side. I have some pictures I'll post up later that show what I'm talking about. Anyway I got some 1/2" steel and will make a new plate with a hole to keep it centered on the spring. That will save me from needing to change the steering arm and give me a few inches of wheel travel to boot.
