To the OP, it's possible to relace a rim, and provided that the hub is the right diameter, to reuse your spokes. However, your endeavor is needlessly complicated and will cost you nearly as much or more than an inexpensive rear wheel. Just buy one for $80 and be done with it.

Also, there is really no 83 Schwinn that's worth keeping original, unless it's a Paramount.
