The dash pad is different. Dunno if that will interchange. Interior door handles need swapped over. I also believe the gauge bezel is different.

The interior parts just need match each other. So if you are putting your complete 78 interior in there then your fine. The problems come when you try to mix it up.

Yes you can put the entire 78 interior in any cab you chose. (short of 73-76 doors..)
