Yes they fit. But the inner door trim panels are not the same as yours. You will have to make some holes and notches for the 79 inner door panel install. Or you will have to use the 81-91 inner panels. That in cludes the inner door handels

OK. The bare Metal door shell from 73 - 76, 77- 80, 81-87 in the Trucks.Now the shell will fit right up to 73-87 But when you go to re in stall the inner trim from your yr door it will not be a direct bolt on any more ( Mods Have to be done ) . Now inner Door panels work only as a direct bolt on door shells of the year break down 73-76, 77-80, 81-87. But you can mod the sheet metal of the in side part of the door shell with a DREMEL TOOL to look like your old door. Now the inner door handle, there is three types yr break down 73-76, 77-80, 81-87 . These only work with the same Plastic inner door trim of the same yr break down * but can be modded ( by a good moder hobbits ) So If your not to good a modes or if you want direct bolt on Stay with same yrs door shell's
If you can see curved tip 73-76 handle look a lot like the straight tip 81-87. both chrome but mount up side and the other mounts on the bottom side of the opening pop out. the 77-80 are Plastic handles
I hope this helps. I have been working on a write up on this but. Have not had a chance to do it yet .

Now the 73-76 plastic panel are about half panels. The 77-80 plastic panel are 3/4 panels. The 81-87 plastic panel are 3/4 panels The Armrest have same break down 73-76, 77-80, 81-87. 73-76 short thick finger opening in the side. 77-80 long thin finger opening centered. 81-87 long thin finger opening offset. These have to be used with same yrs break down inner door panels only.
