I'm pretty sure the late 68-82 uses the same top trim. The only difference I'm aware of is they started painting them black in the later 70s as to reduce glare. AL.

The later TRIM may work...BUT its different.. if you look at side piller trim etc you will notice that the groves etc are different... My 72 now has a piece of 76 trim on the passenger side I know it is different BUT nobody has mentioned to me that they do not match in the 5-6- years its been on the car...
