Believe me I'm one of the last to hack up old trucks.I have been told the cross member swap is a bolt in.No idea why you would do all that if its not necessary. The conversions requires all the parts off the donar truck like the spindles , cross link, tie rod ends, pitman arm etc. The turning radias is compromised unless 71-72 lower control arms are used.Yup not too hard. Maybe by the time you change all that stuff you might just want to swap the whole seebang. However ,I do believe the rear axle shafts are different lengths from the 60's and the 73 and up.So the rear axles sahfts may not swap out without changing the whole rear. This information is from a guy on the 67-72 Classic truck board who does these swaps.
