1973 Cab on 1987 Step Side 2wd frame fitment questions

My truck is about to come back from the media blasters and I want to buy all new hardware but I am not sure about which ones to order. On LMC truck they have different bolt and mounting options 73-77 77-80 80-87. Need an expert out there to guide me. 1973 standard cab 1/2 ton 2wd 1987 SWB Step side frame...whats my best options... dont feel like buying the wrong stuff (very Annoying)

You are going to need cab and radiator support bushings for the 87 frame because they are frame specific. You are going to need bed bolts for a stepside because bed hardware is bed specific.
