Started my cab swap on the 79. Found my drivers front mount is badly cracked. Should I try welding it or just get one of my parts truck?
 
B52 kit? You should have seen the one on that 1980 K5 I cut up. It was two separate pieces.

Why not? You don't have to run 52's? I would imagine with the spring in the furthest back hole it would be close to stock?

The rear most hole is very close approximation to stock. From there the adjustment holes can be used to move the axle forward. Of course this leads to move the shackle eye hanger forward.

Stock front springs are to wide to fit. A front lift spring can be made to fit with the right poly bushings or a little trimming on the fat shouldered ones that they typically come with.
