Your best bet is to get on rockauto.com and compare part numbers for the same parts on each vehicle.

Body Damage is Cool
Is it a leaf spring Sport? The axle should work. The brakes on the front should bolt on. Why don'tyou have early trucks up there?

All of the above will fit except maybe the torsion bars, check them with your tape measure and see if the length is correct before buying them. The front diff may need it's own crossmember or a bracket made for it's mount but other than that you should be good.

That truck was pretty picked but wondering if the rear leafs would fit..it actually old man emu leafs.

I grabbed the calipers..do I need the master when switching to 2 piston calipers?

No. Get the rotors and backing plates too.

Curious; What were the differences (if any) between the sport and gen1 rear springs? Rate, length?

Military wrap so they are probably a little firmer because of that.
