1980 4x4 Cab Swap

Might be getting this 80 4x4 swb. the cab is extremely rusty, even the roof is rusted through in the back on top. It runs and drives 350 engine 4-speed tranny. Question is I have a rust free 2 wheel drive 6-cyl, automatic cab I would like to swap onto this frame. Is it a pretty straightforward job and what do I need to modify? I already know about the hood and cowl/wiper differences, i do have newer front sheet metal if i need to use it. I would like to keep the 80 front wrap and dash/interior as much as possible. Anyone done this or have any thoughts on it? Sorry for the dumb questions, I've been mainly messing around with the 60-72 trucks. Haven't had a square body in years. Thanks
