I thought all (2) headlight radiator core supports where the same

Managed to pick up the last remaining pieces for my 82' to 85' front clip swap yesterday (grill & parklights). Got home and realized that now I need a (4) headlight core support to make this work. It seems that when they moved the parklights from the bumper the radiator support, GM changed it up. This sucks because I have already stripped and repainted my original one. I guess I am headed back to the pick and pull for a new core support unless I can modify the one I already have. Any ideas??????

Looks like I may take a day off this week and go back to the pick and pull and snag the radiator support off one of the 85's they have their with single headlights..........Only $ 40 bucks but, it gets me one step closer to getting the truck back on the road and all of the parts out of my basement and my wife's prying eyes

I wish I could stumble across a single headlight version for my '85, as mine has rotted away. I find a lot of the dual/stacked headlight versions locally, but so far have not encountered one that would be a direct fit for me. I'm not interested in switching over to the dual setup.

From what I can gather via the LMC site, there were indeed different versions of the 2-headlight support, depending on year. I can't recall the year cut-off, off the top of my head.

Good luck with your front-end swap!
