i believe you can bolt up the 67 cab and 72 bed onto a newer frame with little to no mods but im not sure if the bodymounts line up or not

The wheelbase is longer for the 84 than the 69, I think it is about 1 inch for the short wheel base models and about same for the long wheelbase.
You would have to do a fair amount of mods as the cab mounts are different and the way the frame kicks up/runs on the later model requires modifications to the cab.

They seem to do OK hen it is a 4x4, as you can use a body lift to compensate for a lot. You'd be better off swapping the front end of the 84 to the 69 frame and change rears if you want 5 lug/discs.

Swap the parts into the`69.Motor/trans...no problem.Front end...Drop the entire assembly and put it under that `69.
