It should fit physically, but mtflat is right about the body lines - they don't blend very well.

the body lines are different but the frame width should be the same pre 73 all used the narrow frame but no you can not just swap bedsides pre 73 were only double walled halfway up and the bed sides were two piece. 73 and later were double wall all the way up and they had one piece side panels

You can put 73-79 bedsides on a 1980-1996 bed. There is some mod work for the tailgate etc...

But then you would have to drill holes in the floor of the bed to bolt it down.
