Has anyone ever used this guys parts? Claims to stand behind his stuff.

Also seen another ebay ad  with a lifetime guarantee on all components, but no control arm shafts.

With the 427 up front, Id like to put some quality parts in the front end, but RARE parts is crazy for what they're asking for stuff.
Any other suggestions, part numbers, or contacts for good stuff?
Thanks guys

I used all PST front end parts with no issues.  PST does have upper control arm shaft with bushing kit.

I didn't use PST ball joints.  I have my own stash of old stock Moog ball joints.  I friend of mine did an all PST front end on his '64 Galaxie light weight with 427.  He's happy.  Mine has a 460...just a bit heavier than the 427.

I also upgraded to a PST supplied, larger front sway bar.  Still pleased!!
