Nice price! you won't know if they fit untill you remove a strut, 
take it apart and try the new eibach spring. I't might work if the 
89' cab uses the same type of strut your car does. My Koni's wouldn't 
seat correctly in the stock vw strut on my 16v so I had to use the 
spring, and top cap off the koni to get it to work with the stock 
strut....why i'm usign a stock strut and koni spring/topcap/bearings 
is a long story but it works for now untill i get a change to twap 
the parts back to the complete orig strut assembly.
