you CAN do it but the 1/2 tons and the 3/4 tons have completly different frames you'll have to do a lot of drilling and such to mount the componets ,ther used to be a shop around here that did that to broncos to get the dana 60 axles for offroading but they closed years ago

I swapped the rear axle from a '61 F250 to a '63 F100 several years ago. It was a direct swap, but I had to use the driveshaft from the F250.
