Some of the parts won't fit, like possibly the oil filter adapter and oil pan - depending on the truck.
Note that the '76 will have EGR port on the carb-flange of the intake manifold (a port which feeds raw exhaust into the emissons-type carburetor), so you'll probably wanna select which of the two you prefer, and it may even have thermactor emissions.
The only major difference will be the very low compression pistons in the '76 truck, probably hanging around 7.5:1 or so.
There is an OK chance the 2-ton block will have reinforced crankwebs, but it probably does NOT have reinforced cylinder walls - that's pretty much limited to the FT, or maybe heavier FE trucks like the 500-series.
If your '67 has C6AE-R heads, you'll probably wanna use them, as they have big runners and work with pre-emissions-era race headers.
If you have C6AE-U, or C7AE-A heads, they're basically the same as the D2TE-AA heads on the heavy truck, so you can just select the ones in better shape. If you run headers, make sure you get the type that work with the lower-positioned runner of the emissions head.
Both engines are tough as hell, so either can be built to make serious horsepower.
