Yeh they will fit. Its probably just the same suspension arms.

I know the rear roll bar links are different.

If your gonna use the st disc brakes your gonna need the handbrake cables too. But yeh i bet you can fit your drums,shoes and hubs onto the axle. The hubs are held on with 4 bolts each side.
