     The box section is the same from 73 - 87 (front, sides, crossills steps, except long vrs short of course).
     Not sure what year they stopped using wood in the step sides and went to metal.  The gas openings on 73 -78 are the same with a round hole, 79 - 87 are hinged square doors.

     Someone put a 73-78 fender on the 85 step side then.  Does your drivers side still have the square, hinged door ?
