I know that in the 80's you could get a 6.2 in a half ton from the factory. Not sure if they had some stronger springs in the front. A 6.2 will fit fine because it is a factory motor. You will basically need the entire underhood wiring harness for the 6.2. And I'm sure the fuel lines are different too.
