Rebuilding front and rear suspension

unless you're working on a restoration, i always recommend upgrading to the 73~76 front suspension. you get big bolt pattern brakes, cheaper parts and more options to build out upgrades from there.

budget really dictates a lot of choices here, and if you try and piece meal it you can wind up with sunk costs. for instance, if you do all of bushings and wear components, not much of that can be carried over to the 73~76 set up.

however, shocks, t-bars and springs will go right along. i don't know what end result you're ultimately after so i can't give much of a recommendation.

and yes, sway bars are a worthy upgrade. depending on your build you may only need a front, honestly.
