Body differences

Ok quick question to those more intelligent then me. Would a 89 or newer front clip and bed lineup on a 74-78 crew cab? I've found a bunch of them and would rather have the newer front grille and such.

you need to change the front doors to line up with the fenders. hood and cowl are different, but will work either way.

So as long as I use my doors my front clip will work? That's a nice piece of info to have.

yes. the front doors need to match the fenders. rear doors are the same, 70s or 80s.
