First of all good luck with your new project,I am sure you will have much fun with it.There are two ways to update the frontend,one is subframing,which is cutting your frame and putting something like a Camaro frontend in.The second is to buy an aftermarket Mustang 2 type front end and install it.I prefer the second method although it is a bit more costly.I put a mustang 2 setup in my 55 2nd series from TCI.There site is
www.totalcostinvolved.com another outfit is Heidts.I dont know what their site is but their address is Heidts Hot Rod Shop 1345N.Old Rand Road Wauconda,IL 60084 Phone is 800 8418188.I believe both of these outfits make frontends for the older pickups.get in touch with them and they will send you a catalog. hope this helps.
