Just wondering if it was possible to upgrade armor by paying the difference or if you had to completely replace it when you wanted new gear?
For example if I bought Freebooter armor 1 could I just pay the difference to upgrade to Freebooter 2 or would I have to pay full price and just sell my level 1?

Full price. There are not currently rules for upgrading equipment other than buying armor upgrades, but those aren't what you are looking for as they just add additional abilities to your armor and don't change the base type. You must sell your freebooter 1 for 10% of it's purchase price and pay full price for Freebooter 2
Alright thanks
To create an item, you must have UPBs with a total value equal to the price of the item to be created. At the GM’s discretion, you can scavenge similar items for parts, allowing 10% of the scavenged item’s value to count toward the UPBs needed.
So, you could say that you are upgrading your Freebooter Armor I to a Freebooter Armor 2 and use 10% of the former armor's price in place of UPBs. I think most GMs would be okay with that.

I suppose that is technically an option, though it has the same cost and is mechanically the same. At least how I read it.
It is mechanically the same for the most part. It basically just allows you to roll play it differently. This is important to some players who want to be able to use grandma's old shotgun the entire game and so "upgrade" it instead of selling and replacing it.
