Re: Best handling for the buck/who can I trust?
Today for that truck I'd say look seriously at the front crossmember that Steve at Industrial Chassis in Phoenix is building that uses Dodge Dakota pieces. It's well engineered, uses fairly easy to get pieces and you don't end up having to spend hours on end making the nose of your truck fit the subframe or have a couple K tied up in a hub to hub kit.

Check this customer truck with his crossmember http://montys56truck.com/monty%27s56truck/
I'd contact him and see what he has to offer. I'm pretty well sure the crossmembers are built to order and he has no stockpile in the back room ready to ship though in case you are in a big hurry.
