Dual headlight conversion

[Gregsenne]

Has anybody converted to dual headlights, WITHOUT swapping the core support? I've spent some time studying the two core supports, and as far as the shape, they are almost identical. The only difference I can see is the single headlight core support is missing the square holes for the adjusters, and the hole for the spring. Other than that, they appear identical.

I want dual headlights, but the donor truck's core support is smashed in the middle. I'm really starting to think about removing both core supports, and welding the headlight sections of the smashed one onto the good one... Seeing if anyone has any ideas before I go through all that work.
BTW... both trucks are 1986 4x4s.
Thanks!
