1.25 hd rotor/caliper swap. 71 from donor 85

i have the 71-72 front suspension and have found a 85ish c10 with nice rotors and calipers.From all my reading it should fit my current set up.My questions being:will i need the wheel bearings from the 85 when using the rotors?And will the calipers from the 85 bolt up to the current 71 setup?Both rotors are 1.25'' so id think at the least i could directly swap rotors no problem.thanks -James-

If they are both 1.25" wide rotors,... it's a direct swap.
If not,... the rotors, calipers, spindles and bearings are different.
