Yes if you modify the cowl area for the hood hinges, wipers and front frame rails, my truck is 80 with 84 clip, it was on it when I bought it

Re: 86 front clip

make sure you use the body bushings for under the core support that are for the 80

Re: 86 front clip

Doors bolt right up. The only thing different about the doors is the inner door panels & the manual window regulators are different lengths because the inner door panels are different thicknesses.
