If you want to use the 2wd box its no big deal really. Youll need to box the frame as said and get the box lined up. Just keep clamping it on and moving it around til it lands where you need it. Also when you box the frame dont just drill holes in the frame and the boxing and call it good. You need to weld in some tubing to sleeve the aread for the bolts to go through. Makes it alot stronger. I think you can find that in steves crew build. Now as far as steering goes you can do crossover with a d44. The front you have should have the flat top knuckles. Notice how the drivers are is drilled and tapped for the u shaped arm. Well if you look at the under side of the pass knuckle there should be round scored markes in it mimicing thesame pattern as the drivers side. You need to true the top of the arm up and have those holes drilled and tapped to match the drivers side. You can look on ebay or pirate4x4 for the arm you need. There are several vendors that sell them. might also want to look into going to the 1 ton chevy TREs.
