Re: 63 3/4ton control arm swap
With a manual trans in these trucks, you can leave the trans and bellhousing in place in the truck. If you don't turn the engine after it is out, or turn the trans input shaft. it should slide back together fairly easily. It may be easiest if you remove the engine mounts from the engine before removing the engine and reinstall after the engine and trans are bolted back up.
I would have to check on the shipping cost of a crossmember. I know it won't be cheap. Shipping a 40lb wheel to California is about $40.00. I know a crossmember weighs a bit more than that, plus you're farther away.
