Thinking about swapping cabs? Any advice?

So I have a 1975 Chevy C10 scottsdale that was a manual. I pretty much stripped the truck down to just the frame, driveline, and cab left. The cab on this truck is in amazing condition. Almost no rust from what Ive seen. My 1980 Chevy K20 project has a considerable amount of rust on the cab. The rockers, cab corners, floor pan, and underneath is getting pretty bad.

Are there any guides here on the forums to swapping cabs?

What is all needed. Im assuming I would have to cut out the lighting harness and wiring to starter and resplice it in.

Would I have to remove the entire steering column?

Im assuming I would also have to do some fab work on the hump to accommodate my 4x4 transmission.

Just looking for tips/tricks/and general how to as I have never done a cab swap whatsoever and would be a complete learning experience for me.
