Re: 84 body style?

Depends on what you consider to be "the same".

Some things like headlights, tail lights, hatches, fenders, seats, are all interchangable from 82-92.

Other things are very UN-interchangable. Like ground fx, bumper covers (bumpers), doors, etc. (and the doors are all externally the same, but earlier doors are slightly different than newer doors in some small, but important ways.)

The frame itself is unchanged. The things that bolt to it were changed over the years, and if a piece doesnt fit you can often just buy the parts that piece bolts to, and bolt those on and be fine.

Which part(s) are you wanting to know about?

Externally an 84 looks like an 82-83.

Re: 84 body style?

yes the unique nose with the little holes in the gfx are 82-84 85-90 are different, and then 82-92 are very low and pointed, iirc, if not someone go ahead and correct me

From 1982-1984 the front end was the same.
GM changed the front end in 1985 and that design carried over until 1990.
