This is straight from LMC Truck which happened to be sitting next to my computer
1981-Hood and front feners were restyled for improved aerodynamics. Trucks lst up to 300 pounds through lighter glass, bumpers and body panels. On 4WD models, front quads shocks and automatic front locking hubs hat worked at speeds up to 20 mph were available. Electronic Spark Control was introduced on the 5.0L engine.
That's just the major changes. Other things include locking vent window handles introduced in like '78 or so, 1980 and up seats have reclined seat backs. If you flip through LMC you can see most everything is either 73-80 or 81-87, but the big things work universal like beds.
