83 2WD shade tree project pickup.

I finally got the the truck iv always wanted!
Needs lots of little things and im lost,
After very little help from LC im stuck with good ol Google.
Iv managed to get my hands on a FSM.
But it doesnt tell me.
Front end swap info.
"Years interchangeable"?
Like can i swap in tie rods Ext, from a new truck? They look the same but i cant be sure. Found a kit with tie rods and all just for 84 and up.

Also . id like to get rid of the 2 piece driveshaft. Tips?

Ill get pictures up soon.
2wd 5spd AC no PS


Currently stock with
LC egr plates & Ify vacuum lines.
Plans,
1.Front end
2.Driveshaft
3.Carb swap
4.Header
5.Port polish, cam\ valve work'

Got any pictures of the truck. I am a little rusty on what swaps in between your year of truck as far as front end pieces. Welcome to Yotatech.

Some purist guys may not like my build plans. Tho i am a fan of the classics this truck has already been hacked up by previous owner. I paid a baffling 400$ for the truck and drove it home. Thing is covered in dings and dents and Old guy riggin'
Dash cut up wire rig galour, not to mention some interesting vacuum lines.
And appears there was a fire under the bed at somepoint. Totally screwing with wires.

Budget tight for Aesthetics.
​Reliable, Sporty little toy with ac for this Texas heat is my plan..
