It will fit. Just measure up the rad support. If you're gonna swap the front end in one piece, it'll bolt right on.  


WATCH THIS!!

The frt clip will bolt on really easy.all the bolt holes line up,the only thing Id suggest is new rad core supp bushings while you have it all appart.and the '84 frt clip has two hood bracket per side so youll have to borrow the wiper cowl and wiper transmission from donor to make it fit properly. Then line up the two cowl hood brackets and mark then cut holes in the cowl and bolt the bracket to cowl so hood wont teeter totter back and forth.and the taller wiper system from 84 will work fine too.
You dont have to change headlight switch as all you have to do is rewire the switch to newer lights.
Its all pretty simple as Ive done this with my '74 c10 chevy I put a '91 sub nose on it over a weekend so its not hard at all.

Your welcome!...yeah when I did mine up here in Montana, on a 74 2x4 you dont see a 91 sub nose on a pup so it was really cool getting looks and pats on the back for doing it. and also whats cool about the '73-87 body style pretty much everything is iterchangable even the 88-91 subs and blazers and crew cabs will work on older boxes.
