'80 front to round eyed 73+?

yea but what I'm talking about is the 79 headlight buckets that wrap around the parklights, we had those on our 76 and it had the wide chrome trim under the grille, and fit perfect, but that would not fit nor look right with the 73-78 no parklight wraparound buckets. I wasn't sure if that wide piece under there was the same for a 79/80 w/ round lights as 79/80 with square lights.

80 is the same fenders and hood as the 73-79 hints 73-80 body style.

As they said grille, headlight buckets and cups, i think the core/rad support is the same. I aint sure on the latch I thought it'd be the same,and bumper and brackets should be the same, maybe some braces, brackets or supports behind the grille, not sure what else. I'd get the headlights, buckets(bezels I should say) the mounting buckets round black metal pieces the adjusters and springs go to, the adjusters, and springs, yours might work? then the grille and lower trim piece? or would it work? you need the parklights, then I guess see what all bolts up or won't and is missing.

That would be my best guess only, and I don't blame you I hate the 80 square lights and front end, well mainly the headlights and bezels, grille is ok with me. I also don't like the 81-87 stuff I'd switch to a round eye setup anyday.

Its ALL the same. I have both 79-80 and they indentical to each other. My 80 shortbox 4X4 has the factory round headlights.

ok good to know, wasn;t sure if the square part was different from the round part or not. I knew the buckets, and lights were but the rest I thought was the same.
