solid front axle conversion 90 F150

ok, so i have been asking a couple questions about gearing down; what ratio, where to get gears, etc. but someone suggested to me the idea of swapping in matching front and rear solid axles from like a 79' body style f150 with 4.10 gears, then get solid axle conversion radius arms from an aftermarket company. has anybody done this before??? any insight at all? tips, ideas?? where can i get the radius arms (and whatever else ill need)? can i just use the radius arms off of the truck i take the axles out of??

thanks for all your help!
