Yes, it's doable. Here's a build thread by a guy that has done exactly that, except his truck is an earlier Bonus Built. The procedure is the same. Only the measurements will differ.

I'm gearing up to follow his blueprint myself on my truck. I would not suggest using a '60 axle, though. The closed-knuckle style axles used in the early 4x4 trucks limit your braking options and are EXTREMELY hard to find parts for. You're better off with an early Bronco axle or narrowing one to fit out of a mid-70's F-150.
