Closed knuckle front end differences

I'm considering swapping the F250 axles from My 66 to my 65 F100. Aside from 5 lug to 8 lug I was wondering if the 66 would have bigger brakes on it? Anything else? Would I be able to swap parts from one housing to another?

66 Axle code is B5 with a GVW of 6800.
65 is 08 with GVW of 5600
