Using the same IFS on my truck.  Can you post pictures of the steering column hookup to the steering box.  Need a little help here.  

Thought about the small block Mopar, even have one, went with a flathead six rebuild.  Check out the pix.

Yeah, I had it done, but from what I understand it's a very common swap.  Rides Nice!

COOL RIDE! I have always liked the mid 50's Dodge pickup. Great to see someone doing something different. Plus, good on you to stay Dodge/Dodge/Dodge for the cab/engine/chassis. Most everybody jumps on the Ford or Chevy front clip with a Chevy 350/Turbo 350 setup. I really like the steelies look too!

Was the Diplomat front suspension an easy notch/weld swap into the original Dodge frame rails?
