Headlight bezel question
Anyone know of a headlight bezel that will work with the combo in the picture below? I tried #36-4332 from LMC but it is for the big single headlight. I currently have the small rectangle headlight. I tried to switch it to the big one but it will not work.

Re: Headlight bezel question
The truck is a 77. The previos owner put a later model grill and the square headlight. When I bought it there were no bezels. LMC= LMC Truck parts

Re: Headlight bezel question
That headlight looks to me to be like the upper one from the two (stacked) headlight model trucks (like this pic I got online) so that grille & bezel set are all wrong... You would need the correct bezel, lower headlight & to move the marker light into the grille assembly as well. You can get all of these parts new from LMC Truck, Brothers or several other manufacturers.

Re: Headlight bezel question
The 82-83 I believe had that set up, but the headlight as mentioned was larger.

Re: Headlight bezel question
It looks to me, like the PO wanted to use '80 Silverado bezels.

Re: Headlight bezel question
Does anyone know if the radiator support from an 80 model will bolt into my 77? The reason why the bigger single lights will not work is because the radiator support is made differently where the headlight buckets go.

Re: Headlight bezel question
Yes, the rad support will bolt in. That's providing you have a 73-80 hood and fenders. It's a bolt-in deal. Looks like you have 81-87 fenders though, and probably a hood. I'd swap back to the 70's style if it were me.

Re: Headlight bezel question
You have a mismatched fender/rad support setup. I'd get a different rad support and run the 81-87 single headlight setup. The 80 rad support won't work with your fenders.

Re: Headlight bezel question
if those are 2 of the smaller 4 light system you won't have high or low beams then
the buckets for the 4 lights are notched in the corners for high and low beam bulbs to fit how may plugs on the harness for them? how many tangs on the bulb? the notches on the front of the fenders wouldn't be there on 77 wipers would be under the hood not over the seperate cowel on a 77 my red 78 and gold 88

Re: Headlight bezel question
Check and see if you can take the headlight bezel out and bolt the headlight in where the turn signal currently is. If so, you could do some wiring and make it a quad headlight setup and be fine. I personally didn't think a 73-80 rad support would bolt to 81-87 fenders, but I've been wrong before.

Re: Headlight bezel question
Ok cool, I didn't know if they would bolt together or not. Better safe than sorry I guess. I imagine a core support shouldn't be too hard to find from a single headlight truck, they were everywhere back in the day.

Re: Headlight bezel question
They are pretty plentiful at the local Pull-A-Part. I plan to go back and get the one out of the truck that I took the headlights from.

Re: Headlight bezel question
Went to Pull-A-Part yesterday and got the correct core support. Hopefully I will get it installed tonight. I will post pics once I do.
