If you can find a decent Pacer front end, it's worth considering. Great brakes, steering and suspension, you get a cool low stance on the front end (if you're into that) and you don't have to cut the truck's frame rails. I'm happy with it on mine and it feels more robust than the ADs I've driven with e.g. Mustang II clips. But I have no experience of the front end kits from the specialist manufacturers. (Guess I don't know anyone with that much dosh.) I should think they're pretty danged good.
All the best with your project. It'll drive you nuts and bliss you out in about equal measure.
