Question throttle linkage swap

so while i'm hear in fallon, nv, so far away from my truck, i'm thinking of stuff that i wanna do to it. so now my question is, how hard is it to change from the old rollerball bar linkage to the newer cable style throttle linkage and how much would i be looking into for parts and how difficult this can possibly be?? when i put my carb spacer in it raised my throttle bar in the cab so much that i can't use the oem pedal any more. so for those of you who have done this before lemme know.
