You will most likely have to fab some stuff up but there are lots of guys who have done it and it should be easy to find what your looking for.

Keep serviceable and drive. Tracking the parts difficulties, especially for '57 regarding Studebaker brakes on front axle. Vintage power wagons used a lot of same parts so they're a decent source for knuckle bushings, seals, etc.
I like old trucks as they were. No Mudd truck futures for any of my projects
