Had enough need a shop

I have put so much time and effort into this truck and pretty much everything I touch turns to **** so I'm giving up. I've been screwed over a lot lately and would like to have some reputable person finish this up. It died on me again today at a car show.

What it needs:

1. Oil pump shaft stuck. Truck will run but does not build pressure. I have no interest in taking the pan off to check again.
2. MSD system completely installed, just needs timing set.
3. Rear end leaking. Shop I took it to previously said it was a cracked diff housing and charged me for repair. Still leaking. Looks like a repair was attempted with welding.
4. Same shop said they fixed the vibrations. Did not do anything to driveline angles. They are off. Need shims. Shaft and joints are new.
5. Rear main leaking. I must have f'd something up when I put it back together. NO interest in looking at it again.
6. I have a new steering gear for it. No interest in putting it in. Everything else in the front end is new.
7. Brake booster is shot. Can't find a replacement. It has a vacuum leak.

Pretty much everything else on the truck has been replaced. Literally everything.

I have a trailer but have no way to get the truck on the trailer and nothing else to tow it with. I've spent probably 500-600 hours on this truck and it just keeps screwing me over. I don't want to start it now since it doesn't build oil pressure.
