Worth the trouble? (Rear end swap)

[70's luvr]

Thanks for all the advice guys! Looks like I'll be rebuilding the Dana 60 for now as a different rear end/ gear ratio would be easy to install later if the 4.10 is too steep. Plus there is something to not buying a rear end that might have unknown issues.
