I don't have any pics and have never tried it, but I have a feeling you might run into some issues with the front fender trim.

The upper body line on the 73-80 front fenders curves down around the front, and the trim follows it, wrapping around the side marker light. While the upper body line on the 81+ front fenders just continues straight ahead and tapers off right up near the front. And the location / orientation of the 81+ side marker looks like it would interfere with the 73-80 style trim.
