I have a 80 Foot steel tower. with steel guild wires radiating out to 80 Feet X4 banks of wires, my question is I plan to run a buckmaster OC Dipole from this tower, will the steel guild wires cause interferance to the dipole antenna.

If you are putting up the dipole as a flat-top then there should be little or no detuning from the guy wires. The guy wires should be broken by insulators along their length, not continuous and the only possible problem would be if one of those lengths was somehow resonant with the antenna, but even then I doubt you'd see any difference.
