x2. I would think a square-body axle/flip kit w/bolt on frame mounts might be arranged/placed for the correct drop.

Or, 3/4 ton 67-72's also came in the truck arm arrangement & used coils so something like that might be a better option for these circumstances (limited fab skills; legal/inspections; bolt-on assembly).

The truck arm front x-member should be a bolt in to the 62 frame rails if it's not already in place (not sure on the early 1-tons).
Truck arms would just need the OE 8-lug axle or have arms fabbed for whatever (Squarebody or newer?) 8-lug/dually axle.
Coils would work w/a bolt on upper coil mount (like what CPP 73-87 truck-arm conversion kits used).
