Transmission debate/decision

My truck (1970 c10) currently has a turbo 350. Needs rebuilding. A guy at work has a '68gmc with 3 on the tree. I am considering trading him my trams and colum for his. Anyone done this? Is it as simple as trading trams and column and proper linkage, adding his clutch petal (that I assume attaches to the brake pedal mount). Changing out flywheel on engines, and that's all I can think of. What am I missing here? This sounds simple. Do we need to swap cross members and drive shafts too?

Radiator and cooling lines. It would be a lot of work. I would just rebuild the TH350. Also most columns for 3-sp are worn out by now.

Bell housing and clutch all the clutch linkage including bell crank and bracket that mounts on the frame not sure the cross member may be different too.
