72 Chevy headlight "bracket" help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hoping someone might have a pic of the headlight bracket on a 72 Chevy. I have '71 GMC rad support which looked to be pretty much identical to the Chevy, except for the dual headlights of course. I thought I might try putting the fenders and grill back on and trying to center the headlight. Anyone do this before?

I think the headlights are different sizes chevy is larger than GMC. but I heard you can weld the headlight bracket in place.

Yes the GMC headlights are smaller. I still have the chevy headlights and bracket and they do fit. Just wondering what the best way would be to get them centered correctly. There is a pic of the rad core support with the brackets in place in LMC catalog that shows the orientation of the bracket, maybe I'll just use that as a go by. thanks
