Well converting from a 235 and a manual trans in a '60-'62 is a bit more work than if it were a '63 and up truck. And when you're having to pay regular shop time, the cost adds up in a hurry. And unless the particular mechanic is familar with these trucks, it may take even longer.
The degree of difficulty depends on your own mechanical abilities, and a location to do the conversion. If you have the place to do the work and the desire as well as the necessary tools and equipment, it can be done with help from everyone here on the forum.
