Not what I thought. I thought you were swapping the old clip out for the newer sheetmetal. I know someone who could use the old front clip

What type of modifing did you have to do for those to fit? They look nice.

I'm in with the 'N2TRUX opinion' crowd. Theres a blue and white around here that resembles yours- I always loved it. Ya can't beat classic because its timeless.

Whatever color you paint it,should be with the original round headlights!
My vote is to leave it with the original clip.

If it means anything,I used to not be a fan of the round headlights myself. Then I bought one with plans of changing it "down the road" but it grew on me and now I like it. Plus in my area there's not to many round lights but the newer ones are way more common. I like to stand out!!

Yep leave the round lights and sell the front clip to me. I can deal with the the round lights, but I hate the shape of the dash in the 73-78. Thats the biggest problem I have with buying a truck from that era.

Barely any at all, just a spacer and thats about it. I still have to weld some metal to the bottom side of the floor for strentgh and drop the tanks so I can the 4th bolt in but it was pretty simple
