you may be able to swap out front spindles and axleshafts from a 1987-1990
would be expensive and take some work, but it can be done

1990 sport RC SB, 1995 318drivetrain, 3.92 gears (came with truck) Powertrax "traction system", 95 dash/steering wheel, hearthrob exhaust, headers, cutout after y-pipe, necessary electric fan add-a-leafs, 30x9.5 mud tires, cranked T-bars, AR 39 15x8 rims, grill guard, roll bars

the parts are all the same, are you a 4x4 or 4x2
the spline count on the 95 4x4 front spindle was different than the 1990 i have
but the CV shafts all have the same bolt patern on the axle stub

the rear end would require all new axle shafts and might as well replace the seals as long as you do it
junk yard would be the best bet
