1980 square headlight question
Hey guys I have a 1980 square headlight front end and I am wanting to switch it to the round headlight front end and I was wonder if the core support is the same or if it's different and what has to be changed to swap it to the round headlights thank you

Re: 1980 square headlight question
Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the core support is the same for 73-80.

Re: 1980 square headlight question
core support is the same, you need the headlight bucket and a round bezel set to make it work.

Re: 1980 square headlight question
I thought that there was a slight difference when it comes to the holes for the mounting springs for the headlights.

Re: 1980 square headlight question
all the mounting holes you need are already there, really easy swap-i did it on my '80 last year. you also need a different front valance and turn signals.
