Welcome ovlov, wouldn't also have a volvo would you?!!! Now, the Mk2 axle will fit the Mk1 cos we did it in the dim and distant past, and the Mk3 axle will fit a Mk2, so I would say yes the axle will fit, but I can't help you with the rest. Somebody on here will though!

Mate ive fitted a full mk3 front axle to my swb mk 1 the only problen is the tapers are slightly different on the drag link but it will fit!!

If you put the mk3 steering box on that would sort it - im sure it would go on with no too much trouble!

everything mk3 fits apart from the draglink end you will need to get it rethreaded ,i am running half mk3 and half mk1 ,unfortunatly the wrong half as i still have the drum breaks!

Drum brakes are okay with the top end you've got Mark!
