the best would be a d60 front and 14bolt ff rear out of a one ton. a more cost effective swap would be an 8 lug 10 bolt front and a 14bolt ff rear out of a 3/4 ton. the 3/4 ton stuff is a direct bolt in. for the one ton stuff youll have to relocate the spring perches on the rear..the one ton frames are narrower i think..maybe wider...either way a 1 ton 14boltff has the perches 2-3 inches in or out from where they are on a 3/4 ton
