4wd v. Rwd exhaust systems

I have a '87 pickup, extended cab, 4 cylinder, carbureted, 5-speed model with a bad exhaust system.
I've looked for the, what should be simple, information but, have a hard time finding it.
Quick question....
Will an exhaust system from the start of the header pipe to the end of the tail pipe from a 1986 Rwd Standard cab, 4 cylinder 5-speed Toyota pickup fit onto my 4wd model?

I already bought the entire exhaust system from the '86 in Tucson for $20.. I had to hacksaw it in two to get it off the donor, but that is no big deal as I can easily weld it back together.
If the Rwd won't fit the 4wd, is the modification to make it fit pretty easy?
I honestly can't see why there would be a difference between 4wd and Rwd....

I know that 2WD and 4WD models are different, mostly by the axle, spare tire and springs, but I am not sure by how much. I do not think it is a large difference.

If the 1986 Truck was also a standard bed, not a long bed, you will need to add a section of pipe to make up the difference between the short wheelbase of the 1986 Truck and the long wheelbase of your Truck.

I am in the process of installing a car lift in my yard.
Once this is completed, about 6 weeks, the '87 toyota will be the first vehicle up on the lift.
I will report back to this posting detailing the exhaust installation.
I also intend to replace all the bushings on the truck and may detail that also as I don't seem to find that either...
