82 body parts on 77 truck

the fenders on my 77 are in pretty bad shape. theres a local guy selling a core support, fenders, and hood off of his 82. besides the headlights, are there any other changes i would need to make in order for the swap to work?

Re: 82 body parts on 77 truck

the windshield wiper linkage needs to change and you will need the cowl off the 82 ..

Re: 82 body parts on 77 truck

you will have to cut holes in the cowl to mount the 81-87 hood hinges also. And yes the wiper assembly is different, new hole will need to be drilled to mount the 81-87 wipers.
