Your in the C-1/C-2 section. I have a '67, so others here with C-1's will need to chime in. Dennis

I used Jim Meyer's Racing front suspension with a flaming rivers manual rack and Ididit steering column.

the Jim Meyer is about as close to a bolt-in you are going to find, and the most expensive...

i used a TCI IFS but it requires a bit more work than you will probably want. you can do a search under wmf62 & TCI and probably find some threads.

a search for Jim Meyer will probably also find some threads on Meyer installations

Two minor welds are required with JMR. That is what I used.
