I do know that the front bumper brackets changed in the early 80's but the bumper is the same.

No matter how bad they are it's almost always easier to repair the ones you have than remove and replace. | | | Re: interchangeable parts for chevy van. | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 12,847 Maniac | Maniac Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 12,847 | As for the fenders, unfortunately they are welded on.

Doors 1971-1996, the only differences are body lines, door handles and trim. Sliders changed latching styles, but as far as I know, the doors still work. The front vent windows changed around 1978, but that doesn't affect how the door mounts.
Engine covers and dashboards - 71-77 won't fit 78-up They changed slightly along the way from 78-up, but I believe the parts will bolt on.
I forget exactly when they changed the steering columns, but my guess would be 1978 as that's when just about everything else changed. The ignition key used to go in the dashboard. 92 or 93 got the lockout for the shifter/brake pedal and 95 had the airbag. I could be off by a year or so on some of these.
Grilles/headlight doors changed from model to model and by year. They had 2 headlights, 4 headlights, mini sealed beams, round, rectangular. On later models, most headlight attaching points were there.
Taillights changed in 84-85 as did marker lights.
I'm sure I missed a few......
