Don't forget that the front end gears and the rear end gears have to match.
The front end (dana 44) is as simple as you think it is.
The transmission/ transfer case may be a little more complicated.
Electrical may be an issue - the motor and transmission have to match the computer. If you have electric shift, you need a whole lot of wiring and the control module from the cab.
It's not a weekend project (not without some serious tools, equipment and experience), but you can change the front end as one project and the trans/ transfer case as another project.
I still wouldn't advise starting on Friday if you absolutely need your truck for Monday morning. Stuff can just sometimes not go the way they're supposed to.
