Re: 73-87 Xmember
I believe the crossmember is the same.
The C20/C30 lower a-arm has a larger ball joint hole compared to the C10 lower a-arm.

I have never done this myself. But alot of the 1/2-ton crew cab guys have. Any reason you want to remove the crossmember? I would just swap everything from the a-arms out. (and the steering) What is your plan here? What are you trying to accomplish?

Re: 73-87 Xmember
I am pretty sure the crossmember Scoti put in his dually was a C10 crossmember. It bolted right in for the most part. There are a few holes you will have to drill from the sectioning process.
