OldSub:
I have heard similar ideas today from multipule sources. it has been decided today sense my boss seems to have a heavy interest in having the shop name on the side of my truck (the space is taken on the doors sooo... who knows) or something of the sort but were going to go with a 4link and all new frame from the back of the cab back sense i'll be building a one off bed and probably a narrowed rear end. Still open to as many suggestions as i can get. Any ideas are welcome, even the off the wall - not so thought through - ideas. who knows.. maybe one of them will fit my unusual situation.

I say unusual because the last owner took shortcuts that i have to remedy in order to set up the frame the way I need it.
