Read this thread I did, it will explain the differences between the two. Your biggest problem is going to be the door latches. The '77 doors simply slap shut over the tub, finding those door protectors is difficult, to my knowledge no one manufactures new ones. Sometimes they show up on ebay, or you may be able to find some in a junkyard, or you may be able to fab some yourself.
