There's no difference in bed length but I'm not absolutely sure on the top profiles.

I know that the "dent" on the '73-'78 starts up higher than "bump" line. But if you're talking about just the top of the beds, I think they're the same.
After looking at this pic, I think the bend at the top of the bed might be a little different.

NO No No the curve at the top is different on the 73 on up trucks. I have both and tried to change the aluminum caps and they don't fit right. I went to NW Running Boards in Clackamas Oregon and test fitted different ones until I found the correct fit. They listed them for a 1998 Dodge fullsize truck, but everything fit perfect on the 67 to 72 Ford LWB truck.
