1978 / 1979 Delta 88 -- Grille and Headlight Swap?

Question for the group --

Are the 78 and 79 Delta 88 Grille and Headlight Assemblies interchangeable?

I know that they are slightly different -- 78 has 4 lights and the 79 has 3 lights... But I would think that if you had everything you could swap one for the other?

Thanks in advance for the reply!!

You might be able to swap the entire header panel assembly. I do know the grilles are not interchangeable , and the headlamp doors/side marker lamps are not interchangeable. The header panel is different. The 78/79 stand-up hood ornaments were different depending on the model.

Thanks. Very helpful. A friend has a 78 that got hit and can get parts off a 79... but sounds like maybe would need the whole header panel assembly and even that might not work
