83 drop spindles to an 89 OOBS?

Bought a complete 83 CCDRW 2wd truck today on the super cheap ($300.00) and it has BELL TECH drop spindles, springs, and rear shackles under it. Looking to put them under my 89 OOBS CCSRW converted project. Not expecting any issues, but if there is could anyone enlighten me of them. Thinking it should be a pretty simple swap IMO. But you never know...hence me asking prior.

If they are both 1-tons then it is a simple swap.
