Unhappy 76 F150 4X4 front end problems..

Hey guys...I have a feeling all the front end stuff (besides shocks)are probably the orignal. I was recently hit on the front driver's side, and had to take the truck into a shop to make it driveable..turns out a tie rod needed replacement to make it driveable. The mechanic said that basically everything is wore out and needs replacing (I'm assuming this is true..)
Besides new ball joints, what all should be replaced? Is there a particular bushing kit that can be purchased that contains everything? Do these kits come with instructions? I consider myself to be more of a beginner mechanic than anything.
Thanks for any assistance!
