Re: willl this work
You can make anything fit into anything with enough, time, knowledge, and money.
We need more details are they 2WD or 4WD? What tranny does each have? TH350, TH400, 700R4, Manual?? Give us as much detail as you can and we can help.

Re: willl this work
what trans is in it now, what trans are you putting in it? My guess is the 87 has a 700r4 in it and the 79 has a th350... most likely not direct bolt in.. someone will chime in that can answer this, but again we need to know what trans is in it and what you are wanting to put in it to be for sure. May involve different crossmember or crossmember modification, perhaps a different driveshaft..etc...

Re: willl this work
A 700R-4 will not bolt in the place of a TH350, I am not sure about a 400 though.

Re: willl this work
All three have different mounting lengths. They'll all bolt up to the engine no problem. The crossmember location is different, though.

Re: willl this work
There are 2 different TH350 lengths, so it may fit. Previous post is correct, whatcha got, whatcha putting in? I have done many swaps, if it is a 700r4 coming out, I would recomend putting one back in, but a long shaft TH350 would be cheaper. In Wasington they are around $150 at a junk yard, and 700r4's are 300 to 400 bucks.
