I am assuming you mean the plow frame itself, as the head gear is what the lights, and lift piston attach to.
It will bolt on, but you might have to do a bit of trimming to the plow frame around the bump stops, and were the brake like comes throughthe frame and connects to the flex line. I think they are in a shade different place between 80, and 81. I have put plow frames from mid 70's trucks on 81 and up trucks and had to trim them a bit.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

You guys put plows on your trucks?

You do you use tractors for?   
Pulling hay trailers?

Tractor plowings too slow, plus my 2wd ford spins too easy pushing a load as I haven't invested in chains yet.

The tractors are for moving the big snow banks when they get 5-6 feet high around here. ;D
Real trucks are built, not bought Build thread

Give me a long enough lever and a place to stand, and I shall move the earth or break this bolt...Whatever, just hold my beer!

Snow?  That must be a whole different world up there.

I do feel sorry for you guys up north. We might see snow once every 3-5 years and even that isn't very much. Typically it's gone the next day or a day later.

I guess it balances out. You guys don't typically have the heat we have in the summer or the hurricanes.
