Dan:

I believe they are all interchangeable.Might call your local parts store for varification.

I found the anwser. The ‘84-‘87 Front suspension is approximately 59 ½”. This is measured from front brake face to brake face (right where the wheel bolts on). The ‘88-‘96 is approx. 1 inch wider, or 60 ½” front . So I won't be able to use my buddy's '94 low millage rack in my '84. I guess it's a good time to upgrade to a close ratio rack.
Thanks for the input.
Dan
