I have a 74 and had to adapt a kit for a later truck, and cut the factory bracket
it came out pretty well, but I think I saw one for a 79
but I could be wrong

I helped my friend install one in his 79, we didn't use a kit, and it wasn't that hard.

you might want to get a kit for a later truck and adapt it
it 's easier when you at least have a sleeve to work with
