Swap the bracket assembly (with pedals) between the cabs. It's not a horrible job, drop the column and it'll come out complete. If the instrument cluster is out it gets easier because you can see much better.

Nope, the firewall end has studs that go into the engine compartment to mount the brake booster. I've done this swap on my old '80 and my current '91 K5.

I've done this too, the pedal bracket assembly will unbolt and come out.
