1980 Headlights: Square to Round
 
I have a 1980 with the rarer square headlights, I'm not exactly a huge fan of them on a 2wd, I like them on jacked up 4wd. But anyways I was wondering what all will be need if I decide to switch to the round eyes that have the turn signal attached..

Mine now

Dont need to change a lot. My '79 is on the wall pic (which is round eye) and I switched to older very easily (on the truck). On '79 grill the markers are hidden like yours and on the older one I used the same markers and found the trim for them at the local wrecking yard. Only other things I had to change was the bottom grill trim and the head light bezels. Pretty simple.
