As noted, anything can be done, look around at the custom builds over the years.
You will need a shop, tools, and a higher than entry experience, but it could be a nice project to try.

You'll need to section, move, or even fabricate new cab mounts. You'll need to buy custom steering column shafts and couplers. The F350 master cylinder and booster isn't a bolt up, you'll have to modify the firewall and brake pushrod, and possibly the pedal assembly to make it work smoothly.
Also the usual stuff, making a shifter work, running new brake lines, wiring the beast.
Its not an unusual project in my world, but its certainly more work than an engine swap.
