Default new toy 78 kr blazer

hello everyone new to this site, how u guys can give me some input. just bought a 1978 full size 4x4 blazer 3/4 ton 8 bolt axles, with a 350,5 spd manuel. the chasis is in execelent condition aswell a 4x4 and engine. the body on the other hand has seen its day. its done. my question is what is my year range of bolt on parts. 85 gen. work? s for fenders, cabs, boxes how limited are my options and a cab and short box? probly no smaller wheel base than the pickups or are the frames the same ? i have a salvage used parts yard at my disposale im just hope i can pick a body or maybe just tear it off and make a buggy i dunno its all in brainstorming any ideas? manly what can i easily use without huge customization are bodylines and mounts similar or the same fit from 78 to lets say 85? the biggest diference ive noticed is the front end having twin square lights as opossed to my round singles. but looks like might interchange.. ttys look forward on ur input have a good day!
