Where are these many? Maybe with a 4bt but I wouldn't go through the hassle of building a truck to then have to rebuild it with heavier axles later. Do you have a lift on your chassis now? Your options of axles in the rear are 14bff, Dana 70, or Dana 80. You need to figure out what gear ratio you want to go with and that can limit your choices as well. As for the front, use a Dana 60. You can use the chevy ones as well as the pre 94 Dodge ones. The dodge ones do have a narrower wms, and the leaf spring perches are about 1" taller and 1/2" wider than a chevy D60. Average cost just depends on the parts really. If you can buy a 1st gen dodge and use most of it, that's a good option.
