I think I found a parts truck(s). will 1987 3/4 tone chevy and Gmc trucks work for conversion parts? and if I am right what should I look for? and i will be able to use power booster and master cyl too right?

It will swap right in, you'll need to do some changes to your front brake lines though, the fittings won't be the same for where you hard lines thread into the newer rubber lines and when you change out to that newer master, your lines again won't be the right size.

I swapped in a 78 3/4 ton's Dana 44 and master and ended up just running new hard lines.

You`re wanting the complete axle,correct?it sure can be done,as Yukon Jack said.

I was planning on using the whole axle, actually both front and rear so the gear ratios are the same. Plus the master cyl and booster.

Might even grab the 350v8 and seat, rear bumper, etc.
