I don't think they are "interchangeable", you can make just about anything fit with a little custom welding and wireing but I wouldn't bother on something I could get for a few bucks at the wrecking yard.

No key lock on your 78, while the 84 does have it, as the key cylinder is in the dash on yours, and on the column on the 84.
