Hi, Frank.
Just done this on my '72GT-a UK car with plenty of rust to go around. In
addition to the stuff you have here, you might need...
Front
Caliper bolt tab washers
Brake disc shields
bump stops and spacers (the rubber bump stops *always* fall off)
Sway bar end links
Rear
U-bolts
Leaf spring plates (above and below rubber pads)
Shock links
Steering
Column shaft universal joint
This depends on the mileage and the conditions your car has lived in.
regards,
Dave H.
