rusty old 85 step-side

hey guys i recently bought a 2wd 1985 stepside for $100 needs alot of work front end fell out of it and its rusty as frigg. I was wondering if the front end out of my 2wd 89 would fit without too much modification?
Also the cab and box are very rusty and the cab looks the same -the dash and odds and ends. will this also bolt to the frame? and finally has anyone ever rebuilt a stepside box? seems pretty straight forward.. the wheel wells seem to be fiberglass and the rest is just flat steel. seems i could build myself a beefy box. Thanks
