fit yes, small changes though. turn signal lights on the front fenders will be horizontal instead of vertical. the hoods are different. some others. i found the differences pretty quick on google

With the bed the earlier years used a gas cap on the side and the later years used a gas door,You can swap beds but you need to swap filler necks they are different between the gas cap and gas door styles.

I believe 79 is the first year for gas door
