Yeah, it will work...I would grab the master cylinder, prop. valve, spindles, rotors, struts, shocks, ebrake cables, ebrake handle ( they are leather wrapped in the SVO!!), rear rotors, caliper to housing lines, rear calipers, r. caliper mounting brackets/shields, rear axles, and all of the related hardware. Also, if that thing still has the SVO steering wheel in it, and it is in good shape....grab that, I'll give you $$$ for it.

If memory serves, you will end up with a wider trac width so take that into consideration when picking the offset of your wheels.

A nice option to get 5-lug, 4 wheel discs is to use Lincoln stuff. The front rotors are a direct bolt on and you can use ranger axles and the lincoln brakes on your stock fox housing. The advantage is that you keep the stock trac all the way around.

just like RBRANDX says... grab almost everything. if you can't use it. a lot of guys on here will still buy the stuff off of you. a lot of that stuff will work though.
