The leaf springs on 73-87 are 52" and 56" long eye to eye. You probably would want to compare the spring widths and how the axle mounts on the springs. If the truck is not a daily driver, I would prolly buy a flip kit and see how it works. You might also look at the DJM website, you can download the installation instructions, that might give you some guidance.
