Re: square to round headlights
If your truck is currently an '80, and you intend to keep the lower moulding and grille, you are going to have to stick with the '79 bezels. Otherwise, you can swap everything to a different year. The headlight buckets are definately different but either will fit the radiator support.
The only difference in radiator supports in in the hood latch. '73-'76 had an "outside" latch.....'77-'80 had an "inside" (cable) latch.

your gonna need 79-80 headlight bezels, the 73-78 didnt have the bezels covering the marker lights like 79-80 did.

Re: square to round headlights
thanks guys,after looking a bit closer I realize that the bezels are very obviously different.Not sure how I didn't see that.
