Engine / Trans. swap

Ok, I have a 1980 C-10, 350, 4 speed and I am getting really tired of shifting and the engine is using some oil.

I have another truck, a 1981 C-30, 350, Turbo 400, motor has been rebuilt and the trans. works great. I want to swap the better stuff into the 80 and I am just going thru my head any issues I may have. I think everything should be straight forward and all the parts should be there. The only thing I think may be an issue is the drive line. Both trucks are long boxes, the C-30 has a single wheel rear-end. Any thoughts on this?

I know I will also have to swap the steering column, but would think that should be the same also.
