Ford 9"/Hp44 Question

Found a truck across the street that is slowly rotting away. It is an old Ford with a 9" rear 44 front. I am rockin the d30 and 8.25 right now and the d30 doesn't like the 35's. I know/think it will be a worth while swap. Should I weld on the brackets form the d30, on the 44, and run upper and lower control arms, or run the Ford radius arms?

read here for more info on what you may be getting yourself into. Crash's writeup explains a lot about how the years differ and which ones are better or not, the year has a lot to do with whether you use the ford arms or not seeing as some have cast mounts (bad) and welded on mounts (good)
