E-67 Rear Susp Renewal

[Tang_Kenneth <kent@rosemail.rose.hp.com>]

I am in the process of rebuilding the brake system of a 67 E 2+.
Of course that required the removal of the rear suspension
asembly out of the car. While I am at it, I should also renew the
various u-joints, seals and bearings.
The car has only 100K miles on the odometer, real mileage unknown.
As far as can tell, the suspension had a normal street life.
These are the items I know I will replace:

U-joints for half shafts
shock absorbers
Large radius arm bushings
Calipers and cylindrs reline/rebuild
Brake pads renew
Final drive oil seal on pinion

I really don't want to go into the final drive/differential
unless something is broken (its not) or waiting to break.
Don't know about the state of the friction plates though.
I want to do a thorough renewal job, however I don't have an
unlimited budget or time. You get the idea. 

The folks here with much experience in E rear suspensions,
what should I be looking at carefully or just replace regardless
while I have the rear suspension apart?
Also where is a good, not expensive, source for shocks? 


Your assistance is appreciated.

Ken
