They are similar but not the same, i know one difference is the way the tailgate locks, they updated the locking mechanism some time not sure when though. But other than that i cant seem to tell much of a difference between the two.

aforementioned tailgate latch. and the body line over the wheel well is smooth on the '92-97 boxes. 80-92 boxes have a small indent over the wheel well that follows the bodyline on the bottom of the vehicles.

what all would have to be re worked to match, looking at the pictures it looks like the majority of the differences are in the front clip.

There are some body side moldings the older trucks have that the newer ones don't so you'll have some holes to fill in. Other than that everything should line up and look fine.
