What's the best/cheapest wheel spacers to change my narrow track rear end to a wide track. I got a narrow track rear end and a wide track front end.

by custom offset rims to match....
or you can do wheelspacers but that is alot of space to make up for....

Yeah, I think you'd have to make up for 2" at least, not to mention you would run into interference problems with the rear fender flares in your '85 Wag, if you're at stock suspension height.
Don't forget when you deviate from the standard offset, it puts tremendous pressure on the hub and wheel bearings!!

If it's legal I would like to just leave it alone that way my back tires stuff up in the fenderwells. Can it be aligned if the front is a WT and the rear is a NT?

it can be aligned just fine, aligning a solid axle vehicle has nothing to do with axle width. There is only 2 things you can change really, three if you wanna tear the knuckles off. Your turning radius will be better witht he wide front and narrow rear also.

Thanks for the help, since it can be aligned I'm gonna leave it be.

It sure is going to look strange, but other than that, I think you should be alright. Depending on the condition of your springs, I'm not sure if you will have interference problems with the tire hitting the fenders on full lock turning. Also, make sure the W/T front has the meatball on the right side before you start building.

Why don't you just get a widetrac rear axle, throw on a 4" or 6" lift and trim the rear fenders a bit and fabricate some custom flares???
That's what I'd do.
