swapping headlight bezels
I have a 79 short bed with the round headlights with the signal light attached. I like the look of the 78 and older headlight bezel with the signal below it. Do I have to change out the whole core support or is there a filler piece to go around the signal?

Re: swapping headlight bezels
Well I went to a local junk yard today and scored 2 bezels, lower trim and the bumper filler for about $22! Bezels are in great shape, just hit them with some 4 ought gauge steel pads and washed em up. I also pulled my tube grille off and hit it with some steel wool as well. All in all im pretty happy!

Looks sweet, theres stainless trim for the signal you can add if you like also. It matches whats on your side markers.
