Thanks for the input. Heidts seems to be the most popular. I've read somewhere there is some stress problems but I tend not to believe everything posted on the internet.
I used a Hortons cradle (from before Paul became Welder Series) with factory control arms and spindles. No complaints from me. They are local, Paul is a great guy to deal with and his own vehicle is a '40 Ford. I'd absolutely use them again.
I would go with the one from Paul at Welder Series.
Paul has been into these forever with his own '40 as a test piece.
He can give you the distance from the frame to the spindle center which is very important.
I've used two of them (from before Welder Series). One is in my '40 Ford pick up.
Paul is local and real helpful which is a plus
Just my opinion

Just finished putting a Heidts in a 46 chevy truck and i was pleased with everything but the chin shin ball joints. Now i wouldn't be surprized if Moog and TRW are made in china these days, other than that everything fit well Ditto the props for PAUL @ WELDERS SERIES . real stand up guy
He will be my first call on my next project

Anybody here ever use a Crown Vic front member, especially in a pickup? They are plentiful, beefy and inexpensive. They come with power rack and pinion, all aluminium construction and will virtually bolt into most any older pickup.
