Tuscon, just a note: the thing you propose buying is the whole headset. That includes the bearings and the cups that are pressed into the frame. I would suggest that you need only the sealed bearing replacements, and the top cone washer (the think with the plastic top that got mangled). Pressing the cups of the the frame (and getting new ones back in will be, I think, much harder. Plus, more expensive. Get that sealed bearing out of the bearing cup in the frame. Measure it. It will conform to one of the sizes listed here.

Even if you do buy the whole headset, you need to make sure that the cups will be able to fit into the frame (sizes vary). Read here about what measurements you need.

The only wear item in the headset are the sealed bearings. If you order just the bearings, they look like this (but make sure you get the right size):
