Interesting idea.......I especially like it because there are only two of us in our club (50+ members) that actually trailride fullsize rigs on any type of regular basis.
The other guy has a '78 F-250 longbed, moderately built 460, C6 trans, 205 case, D60 front, D70 rear, 42" TSLs, and about 2" of lift. It does really good, but is beat to hell and back regarding the sheetmetal.
He's had good luck with the D60 front considering the truck weighed around 7,000 lbs. for several years (he carried a LOT of spares in the bed.....as in around 1,000 lbs. worth of stuff...he weighed it all). With Spicer shafts (35-spline outers), broached stock drive flanges, and Spicer u-joints the only thing he broke after several years of beating it was a 35-spline stub, however the little spindle bearing was shot and had made a nice groove on the stub right were it broke so that issue was definitely a factor.
