Yes...but there was different header panels used in 78/79 than 80/81 ... fenders, hoods, inner fenders etc are all the same. 82-up went to the quad headlites and used different fenders... but will still bolt up. Marker lights are the difference between 78-81 and 82-up
 
I know this is an old thread but for people using this forum to learn about these cars, any info is nice. I just thought I'd share that I've noticed that 2dr to 4dr/wagon windshields are different. The 4dr windshields are shorter.

I found that out buy buying the windshield trim out a wagon for my 2dr mally :blam:
 
Hey i really need to know, do the 1978 sedan doors fit an 83 wagon? The 78 rear doors just had a normal window, while the wagon has the rear windows with the mini windows that fold out, can the old 78 doors fit in the wagon body?
 
front doors will work, rears wont. the window frame is shorter on the sedans, leaving a big gap at the top if you put it on a wagon
 
You can use the sedan rear doors if you remove the window frames and replace them with the window frames from the wagon doors. It does require some drilling out and grinding spot welds, plus aligning and welding in the replacement window frames.
It's doable. You might have better luck finding good 4-dr door sedan doors than wagon doors.
