If you are talking about the newer Express style which came out in 1996, then No, I do not think they will bolt in.

The spindles were from a 67-87 c10 (CPP CP4S4), coils were Beltech 4700's, rear end was a rebuilt 10 bolt with posi out of the 96 van. The only thing that didn't work in my 79 were the dearched leaf springs from the 96. They are 2 1/2" too long. I could have drilled new forward holes but there would not be what I felt was sufficient (safe) room between the edge of the hole and the edge of the material. I will just take the van to the local spring shop and have them make up some new dearched springs.

E brake cables are not the same and the brakes went from 11"x 2" to 11" x 2 3/4". | | |
