Got everything lined out she is running good (little weaker than the V8 that im used to driving). Just have some small issues to fix like the a/c compressors. I like the compressor and brackets that came out of the donor but will not mount up to my condensor (hoses are different mounting style). The idler arm is out so it has the death wobble at 65mph. Also has a high idle in neutral and im afraid to mess with the carb with all of the horror storys i have read about. I would like to thank everyone that helped me out with some very good information.

Lessons learned:

2wd & 4wd models are interchangable from 87 - 89 if you change oil pans and pickup tube....
Fuel tanks are not interchangeable between short/long bed.......
The entire truck can be disassembled with a 12mm & 14mm wrench.
