No 'special' machine work; just standard R&R of the axles. You'll need the new axles & possibly spider gears as new axles come 30-spline & some of these trucks had their parts swapped (you might possibly have 17-spline). You'll also need a set of brake drums from a 71-72 truck.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
