You can spend a lot more for fancy units, but standard sealed beams are as near as you favorite parts store for about 5 bucks each. Here are the Napa versions:

not to hijack, but not sure if you just need lamps or everyting.

i need the new back plates, trim rings, springs and hardware - I know LMC has that stuff (anybody else?) - wouldnt buy their headlamps though - pretty pricey

I found these - still pricey - but im looking for somethign with signal inside

Chevy Duty has most if not all of the parts. That's where I bought mine:

Thanks Mark.
now.. halogen lights are better than stock right? so if i get halogen lights do i need to add relays even if i have all new wiring?

[blackmopar]

i added relays even to stock headlights - the benefit (MUCH brighter lights) is well worth it - IMO

[cb1965]

do you hava a part # for the relays? and where can i get them

[blackmopar]

you can get a harness kit from LMC but its chin-junk! I use Tyco (still foreign but a good quality piece) relays and did the wiring myself - theyre amazingly simple and Im NOT a wiring guy - I get my stuff from Mad Electrical - the dudes name is Mark - he knows his sh*t

let me know if i can help with any other info - youll be stoked

is the gmc grille a direct swap with a chevy grille? do i need to drill holes? if so , witch ones? maybe a diagram or mesurements

[blackmopar]

my 60-61 wasnt a direct fit to my 64 - the upper bolt hole is the same, but I had to drill the lower for the grill bracket - was shorter than the stock lower hole. You should at least be able to get it hung using the upper bolts then it should be obvious
