65Mechanic has a thread on his swap. Pretty much a bolt in, if the parts truck is the same wheelbase then absolute bolt together.

Be sure the axle ratios are the same, or you will end up swapping out the rear axle too.

Even if the wheelbases are different you could always have one of the driveshafts cut down at a machine shop to fit...had to do this when I swapped my Cherokee to 4x4 and it cost me all of $50.
