I do believe you are right. I took a door off the 73 and it fit and lined up on the other tub. I did some research on the tailgate and barn door interchangability and it looks like a huge pain in the rear. My 73 is tailgate the new tub is barn.

You are also right on the door panels. My 73 is like a partial door panel. Also the door doesnt have a hole for the wires for power windows.

As of right now , i am leaning towards swapping the 73 front clip to my 88 tub. Theres too much body rot on the 73 to make it worth swapping the other way.
