No, not really. The whole suspension setup is completely different on those two trucks, not to mention they are 2 different generations of trucks. The 84 has a solid front axle, and the 83 has IFS. And the 84 will have leaf springs that are sprung over and the 83 will be sprung under.

But.........get the 84 and swap in your 83's motor!
