Does it make sense to buy this truck and swap out the from and rear axles or should I continue to look into modernization? Will the swap be a bolt in situation?
Thanks

My first guess is it sounds like a lot of work for no appreciable gain.
Find out what the wheels are and bolt pattern, if 22.5" 5/10 lug they'll swap to the 51 with some hub bushings.
