cab interchange
Does anyone know if the 73 front fenders and hood are interchangeable with an 80?

Yes, '73-80 interchange.
Radiator support no in most cases...... most of the '80 model year trucks had square headlights..but you prolly already know that |

I think that only the '80 Silverado came with the square headlights. The lesser trim packages had the round headlight trim like the '79 models.

73-75 76-80 and 81-87 all have little differences but are interchangeable also up to 91 for blazer and suburban
square headlights started in 81 and IMO are ugly ------------------ 71 Custom/10 lb fleet .040 over 350/th350 good ol 1 wheel peel 3.73 12 bolt 275/60/15 front 31x10.50 rear on GMC Safari wheels #3 Dale Earnhardt will live forever in our hearts and memories "THE WORLD'S GREATEST RACE CAR DRIVER EVER"

square lights were offered as an Rpo option as early as 79 but i have never seen one and there is no set pattern as to which 1980 came with it.MOST but not all silverados had them and i think it depended a lot on the build date as it seemed that the early 80 models all had round lights.
Too answer the question A COMPLETE 80 front will definately fit on a 73. there were subtle differences in grilles and 79-80 bezels are different as they extend further down to meet the stainless piece that goes between the parking lamps in that year.DAVE [This message has been edited by crossy (edited 08-26-2001).]
