How much trouble will it be to rebuild the front end?!

makes sense. thanks for that info. i was planning on buying an entire front end kit though to do the rebuild. would you guys here on FABO recommend buying a complete kit or would it be better probably to piece together my own. because by piecing my own together, i would be able to get this 68 idler arm.

You can save a lot of money buying everything in a kit. The only reason for buying things seperately would be if you were using some custom parts like C-body tie rod ends or offset upper control arm bushings. All of the parts for your 67 should be the same as the 68 except for the idler arm. So if you planned on changing to the 68 arm you could simply order a kit for a 68.
