From the little bit That I think I know,,,you will be opening a can of worms.
It just might be easier to put the 95 cab on the 77 chassis.
95 has ABS
ECA
Stricter Emission controls
Different suspension
Different weight certification I imagine if you had plenty of cash at your disposal something could be done. You might want to rethink this project.

Just maybe someone has done what you are considering and they may be able to offer some ideas .

HI I think you might be better off with trying to finding a doner truck from 92 to 96 you might find less problems with year model changes that way

You might try this; get a trannie w/ transfer case a front gearbox with same gear ratio and whole front endwhile your at it get the computer so that you won't have to many codes that makes your engine fail

I think your best answer could be received by inquiring from Ford Parts & Service as to whether there is any difference between the ECA's on a 95 -2 wheel drive and 95-4WD .
There may be no difference, I don't know for sure.
It seemed every time I needed an ECA the weight class and engine calibration came into the picture.
I always purchased my ECA's from Ford and never had any problems with them.
