Dual square headlights to single round conversion

I'm sure that I am probably not searching the forum correctly, but
what would I need to convert my 86 from dual square's to single round headlights?

I am wanting the front grill/headlights to look like this one...

Thanks for any suggestions.

Kindest regards

You need the entire front clip from a 73-80. Both fenders, inner fenders, the core support, hood, hood hinges, grille, headlights, front valance, turn signals and bumper. I have done the swap myself and it is not that hard.

That's what I figured, is there any other way to go round without having to change the entire clip? It doesn't have to look exactly like the above pic, but something close, so I can keep my current fenders/hood etc. etc.
