axle is a bolt in swap, brake lines are definitly different and the steering will be a lot different. we used a 72 p-s box on my nephew's 63. had to modify the column and space the box away from the frame. not a big problem but took a little time to get everything right. he's put well over 100K on that truck since we built it several years ago.
