Find a donor , strip off the suspension. ( normal stuff I know. )

Build a jig that attaches to all the suspension pickup points / steering rack of the donor shell. Make sure the jig has some reference to the rockers / rear suspension height and level. The goal is to establish where the new suspension should be relative to the rear and at what angle the jig should be tilted when looking from the side.

Place the jig under the truck, level it and starting making brackets to the frame.
