Dude it wouldnt be worth it.. You'd be better off holding out and getting a 14 bolt! You might even be able to get one with disc brakes!

This is something to think about since it seems you will be using it at the Dunes often...

Ok, what would it take to get a 14 bolt swapped? The HD trucks come with 14 bolts so it should be a direct replacement right?

i beleive so, you may have to do some things to the driveshaft (may have to be shortened and change u-joint style) as for park brake cables well that may be an experiment, but not impossible, and running brake lines would be too easy.
