No it wont. They are wider then the 80 due to the fact that the tail lights were under the bed and not in the corners.

Luvr8 is right, the bed is different on the 73. Unless your 80 has had the bed swapped for an older one, the 73 won't fit. If you have tail lights vertical on either side of the tail gate you need a gate from a 75-80 for it to fit.
