It should fit but I also know some parts are different from 73-80 to 81-87

looks like the same as my 79
so both bezels will work
can't see L/R speaker holes?

I know that you can use 81 up in the 80 down as long as you use the 81 up gauge bezel with it. Wouldn't see why the opposite wouldn't work.

The VIN is in a different location for 73-74, 75-80 and 81-87 I believe.

I'm using a 89 in my 78, the vin hole is empty, cause it's in the jamb,below the catch
my 79 is on the dash as is the 88 of course.(i believe 79 on Vin is up)
the 78/79 pad with the later bezel leaves a funny gap at the top(can't find pic i took)
but it's because the pad starts closer to the bezel no over hang,seen here in old shots of the 78

i will buy it and see if it fits

should be on the drivers lock pillar for 73-78, then 79-87 has it on the dash...
