I think the tailgate will work as far as i know. The doors might, but it's hard to say.

tail gate and doors should fit. hood definatly won't fit unless you've done a front clip swap to the 81-up style front clip

You might need the hardware to go with the newer gate. They changed up the hinges and stuff in "81 or so, I'm not sure how well it would work with the old hardware.
