The dash gauge set up will fit in out of newer trucks but the pin positions in the plug are diferent.
The 81 bumper will fit if you use the 81 brackets and cut the front of the frame off to match the 81, and the side brackets will need holes drilled in the frame behind the core suport mounts as they use two bolt per side and the 79 uses only one.
