It will bolt on, but your hood hinges won't. Are you wanting to totally swap the front ends over or just replace a fender?

If you search the site you will find multiple discussions on this topic. You will need everything from the older truck from the doors forward. Including the wiper arm stubs.

When I had my '74, I entertained the idea of swapping the front clip for something out of the '80s... Now I'm kinda missing the old round headlights.
