If you pulled the cabs wiring yes it will.
Somewhere in that range GM changed the through the body plug style. On my 73,74,79 C20 now K20. I used my original harness to power my vehicle, but spliced in sections of the other ones to repair pieces. |

some colours of the wires change like hi/low beams
and the NSS wires too, just from 78 to 79
