Strange Crank Question...

I have a strange question concerning cranks for a Pake build that i have going on. My current mtb/commuter ride died last week with rear hub failures, front wheel failures and chain line probs. So I was wondering if I would be able to use the Deity cranks and possibly bottom bracket off my current rig. I basically need to build a cheap bike cause I hate driving to work...so what do you guys think? I would definately need a new chainring because I believe the one I have now is like a 26 or something...I am just gonna try and run the parts off my mtb to this. I would buy the parts but am super broke but it'd give me something to run for now. Plus I could care less about weight. Thanks for the help.
