Re: been asked a thousand times
Shifty, yeah it'll work fine. You will have to fab or find brake lines and use ball joints for the year of the spindles. You will also need the entire tie-rod from the newer truck (ends are different thread and the studs are bigger.) And you have to trim the steering stop on the new spindle (leave about 1/2 inch of it.) I swapped 72 disc spindles into my 69:

Use the required tie rods for whatever spindles you use.

Re: been asked a thousand times
Yes. That is exactly what i'm doing to mine. Changing ball joints and tie rod ends. Very easy swap
