Question question about interchangabilty

ok I have some questions about a few 80's ford trucks...

my dad has 3 trucks
83 3/4 ton diesel extracab longbed
83 1/2 ton extracab shortbed

and the one he is going to keep:
85 3/4 ton regular cab longbed (was diesel now 351w)

my question is this, he is going to part out the 1/2 ton will any of the parts besides the body fit the 85 3/4 ton?

it apears that the I beams are like the old trucks on the 1/2 ton, they are long where the 3/4 ton's are real short. whats up with this?

AFAIK, the body, transmission (maybe), t-case (if they're 4WD), bumpers, & some of the electrical system are the only things that will swap over.
