"Interchangability" 79 Blazer to 82 K10 - What fits?

[morglan]

I've found a 79 blazer for parts, and I need to know if it's worth picking up for parts for my 82 K10. Specifically, what I'm looking at for replacement parts are:

Dash Pad
Heater Controls
Door Panels
Vent Windows
Steering Gear Box
Window Motors (Elec-as my 82 is, or switching to manual-if that is what the 79 Blazer has)

I need help--will these parts inter-change?

If so, and I pick up this vehicle, I'll be offering the rest to you guys dirt cheap before I send the rest off to the junkyard.

Thanks

Everything should swap over with maybe the exception of the power window motors and dash pad. I don't remember when they changed the window motors.

The dash pads will be different in passenger area. The 82 will be squared off. I have used the older style pad on an 83 and it did't seem to fit quite right. If the pad doesn't fit and is good it wouldn't be hard to sell. In general it seems the 78-83 trucks share a lot of the same parts.
