Pretty sure the frame horns (ends) are different, so you might have to use newer style bumpers, or fab some new bumper mounts. Seems like there may be a minor difference in the cab mount also.

In addition to the bumper differences, the body mount bushings are different. Buy bushings for the frame year, not the body.
