68 Dodge 1 ton dually, Cummins-help me design 4x4 running gear

I got the truck, and the Cummins 5.9.
I have no trans, transfer case or axles.
I would like something beefy but practical, not exotic.
I have been doing a lot of reading and learning but still dont know what exactly I am looking for.

One option is find the parts one by one, the other option is to find a truck and use it all.

Got any good ideas?
Suggested years for donor trucks?

I can fabricate.

Old boy on the first gen side, McCummins or something like that?

Has the twin to that truck only pimped out in 4X4, I would pick his brains.

I think he lost them somehow. There is another thread he references when he was working on the AC that has some newer pictures.

That thing is a monster, way cool to watch his youtube video of him running the 10 speed thru the gears.

Here is the thread.
