Front Clip for 54 Chrysler Town and Country

Looking forward to start my 1954 Chrysler Windsor Town and Country wagon, but I will need a front clip. This is a heavy weight with the original suspension, brakes and engine. If I don't get this car on the road, it will surely end up in the crusher, so I would like to make it a decent, comfortable and safe driver. I am considering a Dodge Dakota clip? I want to keep it Mopar and the wheels in the fenders. Am I on the right track? Any ideas or suggestions?
