headlights - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

On what year models between 81-87 did they put single headlights on each side? And I'm not talking about the ones with the turn signals under them. Just one headlight on each side with turn signals on the bumper.

I believe that 1981 & 1982 are the only model years that had the turn signals in the bumper, that also offered both the quad and dual headlight (ie one headlight per side) set-up. I'm not sure about 1980, but I thought that the turn signal was below the headlight on that year's round and square headlights.

This should answer your question. You know they say a picture is worth two birds in the bush or something like that.....

n2trux, your top pic is wrong. The 81-82 did not have round lights. Mine is like the one in your second pic with the single lights.

augie76, yes the 80 had the signals under the lights, but mine is an 81.

Look on the top page that he posted. The grille is shaped all wrong. It's trying to make it look like they didn't change the front end until 83.

So it looks like the correct answer is 1981 & 1982. What do I win?
