is it possible to put 80's model rearend and front end parts under a 67 chevy truck? Are the rearends even the same width?

Are you running liefs or coils in the back

I have a 72 stepside with leaf spring rear-I was told by the previous owner the rearend in it now is from a 1982 GMC.

It's coils but I'm planning on welding new saddles on. As far as the width idk and will all the front end stuff bolt up?
