84 sheetmetal to a 79

I have an 84 with all the sheetmetal needed to reapair the front end damage on my 79. I know the fender will not work. But will the Hood, Header panel, and headlight assy from an 84 work on a 79?

Also will the part circled below work from the 84 to the 79 incase I need to clip the front?

It's the same header panel, AFAIK. I have no reason to think it wouldn't work. I've seen both in a junkyard and they look identical to me.

I once drove from NC to OHIO just to get cheese.

There is a guy in SC who has a 79 for parts but I cant find the web address. Some one posted the address a few weeks ago when he traded his car for one the guy had.


Please dont part that car. I hate to see a good one with a title taken apart.

It has an 83 fender on it. But it does not match up correctly. I could change out the entire front but the bumper and tail is what makes the 79 look so good to me.
