It was just a single post that referenced the answer to your question.

A complete x-member swap is not required. One can swap over the disc brake required parts to a drum brake truck for the upgrade on both 1/2 ton or their heavier duty 3/4 & 1-ton counterparts. Required parts would be new replacement wearable pieces (BJ's, TRE's) as well as possibly needing the later a-arms & other possible items vs. just swapping BJ's to the existing arms.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
