Anyone the strips a 78 or 79 Bronco that's buildable is fair game for a pistol whippin as far as I'm concerned! Build the Bronco instead.

hehe.. I have my eyes on a 78' I'm stripping for mine this summer.. off course it has basket ball sized rust holes, a tired 351m and is riding on its bump stops.. still pushes snow though.

Let me rephrase it!!
You can bolt in parts from 1980 , which is the easiest way as requested in the original post.
Rlh is correct that it can be done with earlier parts, it is just more time and cash consuming.
