$900 alignment - reasonable?

I took my '95 K1500 in for an alignment (truck pulls slightly to the right) I was told the idler arm, pitman arm, and left lower ball joint needed replaced, and that plus the fact that some sheet metal has to be cut out of the way to do the alignment makes the total cost approx $900. Does this seem reasonable? Anyone else have experience with this or have an idea how critical these repairs are? I can live with the pull to the right if need be.

Well the parts cost about 100 bucks and the labor should be the same, the alignment is anywhere from 35-80 bucks depends on where you go. And I don't understand about the sheet metal havin to be cut. But 900 is alittle far out there!
You should have the work done somewhere cause you don't want to have a ball joint go on ya while driving.
