It depends. The B-body cars went through an exterior change in 1980. 77-79 are interchangeable and 80-90 are interchangeable. Of course there are model and year differences, but bumpers (for example) are the same for all Olds B-bodies for 80-90. One thing to watch out for is the Custom Cruiser wagons use different front fenders than the sedans. The reason for this is that all the B-body wagons for 77-90 use the Chevy doors. The Olds sedans had a feature line on the doors and fenders, the wagons do not.

Interior trim varies by year and model.
