77 Cab on 85 Frame??

I have a 77 c10 cab i put on an 85 shortbed frame. If i remember correctly i used the body bushings from the 85 setup. I am wonder if it is possible to use the 70s radiator support and front end clip on this frame also? If so, do i use the 80s core support bushings also? Thanks

The frame horns are different. You can cut and swap to use the correct year bumper.

They do look different. What do you mean cut and swap? Where and how?
