Post ? about head light housing

OK I am installing my new 70 model grill I bought from GMCPAUL (THAT WAS A PLUG GREAT GUY)

Just doing some fitting before I got it fully istalled and it seems my drives side head light is sitting lower than my passenger side and I won't be able to install the new bezels either. I don't have a pic of it yet but I will post a pic of the truck before the new grill you can tell it is lower take a look and see what you guys think the problem could be

I'll bet you have a 67/68 core on there.

It looked like they were both a little funny to me...at least, in that shot anyways.
Yeah, I was refering to the radiator core support.

The passenger side looks funny in the pic because it had a broken headlight adjuster screw

wouldn't there be other problems if the core support was was a 67-68 model type

after going out and checking the core support I found the problem The last owner told me about the truck getting in a wreck on the drivers side about 3 years ago The core support on the drivers side is welded to the fender and I just noticed it the little bracket on the support that goes to the fender on the top is missing he had problems with the body shop who did the work looks like he got screwed and I'm going to pay for it.

Looks like I'll be doing some more shopping at Mr. Pauls
