Yup, that's why when I asked the salvage yard for a fender, I got this:

Aside from some of the grille/headlight mounts, it's the same as the fender on my '78. The mounts don't matter to me because I'm backdating my grille, lights & bumper to pre-'78.

Will a set of taillights from a 71 fit on a 92? Im pretty sure they are the exact same size but just look a different?

This is the closest thread I've found regarding interchangeable parts on early 80 model Chevy vans. I am having a difficult time finding round headlight doors (I've seen elsewhere on here that they're as difficult as finding Sasquatch). Is it possible (and easy) to change over to rectangular headlights/doors/bezels?

When you say round headlight doors, I assume you're talking about smooth side driver and passenger door? They were the same door from 71-84. They added that bump in the side of the door in 85 (bump in the body was added in 77, but the doors stayed smooth). Might help expand your search years.
