I found a lot of used older florescents that were in a suspended ceiling in a lumber store. I bought this winter about 10 plug in t-8 lights that just hang on chains. (shop lights). Would it be ossible to take parts of the older lights out and fit my T8's into the old enclosure if I ever decided to use a drop ceiling in my garage?
Using my current lamp holders too I guess?
yOU WOULD ONLY NEED TO SWAP THE BALLAST OVER AND RE-WIRE CORRECTLY FOR THE NEW BALLAST. (oops, cap lock off.)
Thank You, Randy

Just replace the ballast, and the lamp holders, and maybe the sheetmetal, since it won't fit the new lampholders. Sounds pretty easy to do. I think you can keep the chains at least.
Lamp holders should be the same.
Since T-12's are being phased out, Ive been replacing mine with T8's, I got a case of ballasts off ebay a few years ago.
Thank You, Randy
