If you use the rear end out of the parts truck it will be a couple inches wider than the 73-87 rear ends. so you may not be able to use the same rims without tire rubbing issues. also for the rear end swap you will need to remove the stock spring and shock mounts and relocate them.

if cost is a concern it may be best to run what you have until you have saved up to swap new axles and brakes into the 14bolt with new rims and tires to match.
