you will have to change out the entire front clip to get the 73-80 style fenders. fenders, hood, radiator support, inner fenders, hood hinges...the whole 9 yards and you will also need to change the windshield wiper shafts to the earlier, shorter ones to clear the older hood that has the built in cowl....I think you will have to modify the frame horns to run the correct bumper, and you may need to modify the radiator support mounts on the frame.
