Help with 1959 Dodge Sweptline front suspension upgrade/conversion ideas?

I'm about to dive into a full restomod for a buddy on a 1959 Dodge Sweptline 1/2 ton pickup. I did see that people have used Crown Victoria front suspensions on the later '61 to '74 Sweptlines, but I haven't seen anything for the earlier trucks. I also saw an expensive custom front end with rack and pinion for the later trucks, but again nothing for the older trucks.

If anyone else has any info about upgrading the brakes and front suspensions, I would be grateful to hear about it. Thanks
