Bob,
I think that your brother-in-law is giving you sound advice. The Cummins 5.9 and a Allison 3000 series 6 speed transmission is a combination found a lot in motorhomes.
This is also a combination used in a lot of front engine school busses which can be picked up rather inexpensively. If you have the space, getting a donor bus will save you a lot of time and money. The donor bus will have almost all the necessary parts and wiring for your conversion and save you the frustration of having to figure out what you need and how to get it.
