though to work some will need some modifications...but not sure why you would put a 74 front end on an 86.. haha.. but pretty much anything except for the bed.. and gas tanks.. not sure on leaf spring spacing.. but axle might swap..

I bought a 1974 with an 86front clip. Still got to keep it as a 1974 from Highway Patrol and DMV. Apparently the old owner swapped everything in with no major problems.

the hood hinge area may take a bit of modification, not 100% sure never had to do this swap... hopefully someone who has will post..
