Its will bolt up just fine, but there are a few cosmetic differences. First, the arch over the wheels is different between the 83-86 and 87-97, and second where the fender meets the cowl area is a little different.

This is how another member did his.

Here's how I did it on my '84 if you're having fitment issues. This way I got to keep all the 7.3 coolers. It was very straight forward.
