I am building my 85 using 94-95 spindles so that the 87 and up struts will fit. I have also been told those spindles will improve the handling. The spindles are a bolt in upgrade but need some minor accessories if you retain the old style struts. I believe a different tie rod emd is also used, I am at work and don't have the info at hand.
It is such a common swap that Late Model Restoration even has a kit.
