Question '60 Grille & Headlights in a '62

I have seen this done on a few trucks and I like the dual headlight look. What mods have to be done to make it work? Or does it bolt right in?

Anybody out there have a '60 grill and headlight setup?

Thanks for your input!

Are you sure it is not just a GMC grille? GMC's had the dual as all chevy's had single.

60-61 had dual. Drill a couple holes and modify the wiring.

On the grills I have seen, the wiring is the same at the plug at the rad support, all you mite need to do is drill some new holes for the ones that don't line up. Chevy used a different grill just about every year, and a different one on the big trucks


here is a 1960 Big Truck grill


GMC used the same grill on big and small trucks for the entire 7 year run, and those have the quard lights set up;


1960 Chevy light truck grill.


1961 Chevy light truck grill.
