You might have to relocate the spring pads to line up with your springs but that would be about all you would have to do. They come in different widths and can be found in early Mustangs, Falcons, Mavericks/Comets, Granadas/Monarchs and a wide range of gear ratios.

to change the u-joint. The best is the square joint with equal length sides. You will have to check the one you find to see if this is necessary. If you are close to GA let me know I have a 67 cougar 8 inch.

I have a 50 and a 51 with a rear from a 1975 maverik under both of them. It is a bolt in swap. Use the emergency brake cables off of the 50. Take the brakes apart and unclamp the brake cables and put the cables from the 50 on. There is a special ujoint to mate the early driveshaft to the late rear.
