Radius Arm Question

I recently bought an axle off a 78 f-150 to do an SAS. The axle didnt have radius arms, and i was wondering if i could use the radius arms off my truck (96 F-150 4x4) now or off of a 2wd 78 truck. Will either of these work? Also i bought 3 to 4 inch radius arm drop brackets from sky jacker for a 78 ford. Again i have a 96 and i was wondering if i bought the right part. And last, wen the previous things are taken care of, i will attempt the SAS. Is there any advice yall can give me before i do this? I know that sounds stupid, but any advice you can give me would help. If you can anwere any of those questions, i would appreciate it.

Merry Christmas,
Will

Just use all the front suspension stuff off a '73-'79f150, i think is would be the easiest. Heres a place where u can buy everything to do it also some good pics. http://www.broncograveyard.com/produ...7db1bcf914f35a

the radius arms are diff., so your gonna have to get a set of them. you should be able to make the drop brackets work for you though.
