I did exactly what you described. I bought a model 64 CAI 4" import for cheap, and it had the ugly electro-pencil import marks on the barrel. I found a 3" model 64 parts gun kit and had a local gunsmith swap the barrel to the 3", then bead blast the gun. I sold it a year or two later.
My 10-8 was a 4" with heavy external wear. I had the same gunsmith chop the barrel to 3", slabside it, and cut a dovetail for the front sight. To keep costs down, I put Oxoblue on it and the worn areas on the cylinder. I replaced the sideplate too.
