I don't think the 80-86 will fit, I might be wrong. But the 67-72 will fit on there fine, the body lines just won't line up.

I found what I believe to be a great deal, but want to make sure it will fit first.

If so, my question listed above is is incorrect. So what does that do to the answer listed above as well?

Your truck is a flareside(ford term), i couldnt really tell you if it would fit,,,my bed would be no. The chancesof them having changed the hing height etc. is pretty good.
