need some help with my 76 stepside!

So what I'm wanting to do with my truck is convert it to a dually with 1 ton axles that I can get super cheap. right now I have a mild built 390 with a manual 4 speed with granny. 9 inch rear with Detroit lockers front and rear. I wanted a dually to make it one of a kind and personally I think it would be awesome.

I'm also considering making the 390 a stroker to a 445 with a 150 shot of nitrous for a little extra go when I hit the mud. if anyone could help me with the front axle set up that would be great.

10.25 sterling and try to find a king pin 60 for up front. Honestly id keep the 9 and im guessing 44 you have now. Yaint gonna break a 9 and ill be damned if you ****ed up the front guy seeing as youve given it new guts. Id wager if anything youd break the detroit before a shaft. As for the giggle gas check out the kits by edelbrock. Last i knew it was around 650 for everything but 10lbs of gas.
