I found a lot of used older florescents that were in a suspended

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?

yOU WOULD ONLY NEED TO SWAP THE BALLAST OVER AND RE-WIRE CORRECTLY FOR
THE NEW BALLAST. * (oops, cap lock off.)

Thank You,

Using my current lamp holders too I guess?

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.
