body panel interchange with 80-86

will any body panels/glass from and 87 F250 work in an 80-86 truck?

what about seats?
what rearends were in 87's and will they work in place of the dana-60 in earlier trucks?


will the 460(non-EFI) 4speed and transfercase (manual shift BW) work in earlier frames?

If i can use alot of parts in my 80-86 trucks i will get this truck, but if not, I'll pass on it.

Bed was the same, tailgate will fit but was shaped different. Most glass was the same, vent windows were different and the doors were different. The doors will fit, but the vent window trim was smaller on 80-86.

Seats will work, .....

Let's put it this way, only cosmetic changes were made in the '80-86 truck right up until the 97 model year. Frames are the same. Interiors are interchangeable, meaning you can totally move one to the other, and the ront ends looked different but again can be interchanged between years if all parts are relocated.

So to anser the rest, the 460 will work and if memory serves the 87-89 models were still non efi.

rear ends- not sure.

Rear ends will interchange but may have to get creative with ujoint selection.
