Front clip question

Wondering what is needed to switch a single headlight truck to a dual headlight setup. I know the obvious like grille, bezels, and lights, but what else? Thanks, NICK

Not sure on your 85. But on my 84, I could only use a clip for a 83 or 84. The 85 should cover 85-87. The grille, the headlight bezels, the wiring harness from firewall to the headlights, and of course the front clip with the springs and headlamp adjusters for the headlights. When you change the clip, make sure you put new bushings under there. I didn't and in about 6 months after I did it, I had to go under there and put new rubber bushings.

Hope this helps.
Tommy

Your welcome. I think I did mine in about 5 hrs. Don't forget anti freeze. You have to remove the radiator also.

Any help with parts, just email me.
That's where my name comes in.
