Dana 60?????

I have a 79 F-250 4x4 with the front Dana 60,and i want to put bud rim's on the front to match the rear,and I have a Dana 60 front from a 85 F350 4x4 dually,and my question is can I get away with just changing the spindle's,and rotor's from the 85 D60 to my 79 D60?By the look's of the 2 Dana 60's everything is the same but the rotor's/hub's.

you should be able to just swap the hub/rotor assemblys without changing spindles

would you be able to take budd wheel adapters from a mid to late 70s 2wd. the 2wd ones bolt to the rotor through what looks like stud holes on a non budd wheel,and put them on a 4x4 hub the same way, or would the center hole on the budd adapter be too small to fit over the dana 60 hub?
