front nose swap

Will a 75 front nose bolt up to my 79? I love the look and would like to convert. Has anyone done this and have any info?

Ive done the swap without switching the rad supports. I just used the 73-77 headlight buckets and drilled 4 new lower holes to mount the older buckets lower onto the 79 rad support
