Weld on ends
I can't recommend weld on ends highly enough. With a c-clip rear you break a clip or an axle and you lose your wheel. While I am aware that the ford style ends are not as robust as a floater they are a huge improvement over the c-clip style axle retention system.
There are many shops that are capable of doing the conversion, and if you do rear disk brakes at the same time you can probably get a nice break on the price. If you need a recommendation for a shop send me an email.
Safety first. I have some photos of the two setups I will try to get them on my website so you can have a look at the differance.
