I used the last years of our body style on my 1981 and it bolts up fine. I believe it is 92-96 and they were from DJM (through Summit). Here is what I learned....
Rotors/bearings...no change
Radius arm bushings...no change
Radius arm brackets...no change
Radius arms...change
Sway bar bracket...change
Drag Link/Tie Rod/Rod ends...change
Spindle...change
Brake caliper...change
Brake hose...no change
Springs...no change
Spring pad and radius arm bolt...change
Granted...i had an 81 that was a kingpin version. The steering components had to be 92-96 only to bolt to the 93 spindles. If you have a manufactured beam you probably need a lot less parts...if a cast beam, you will need more.
As for the rear, the later drop setup (87-96) worked fine on my 81.
Hope it helps some....
