66 headlight mounting questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Trying to mount the headlight backing plates on my 66. Got them from LMC and the holes are 1/2" off. Anyone have any pictures that show the orientation of the stuff behind the grill?

Thanks

Not sure if your talking about where the grill mounts to the headlight mount panel or where the buckets attach to the grill.

This is all I have right now.

Thanks for the picture, that helped a lot. Got it figured out now, it was me, not the part.

Hey there Alan! What exactly are the square openings for? I'm assuming some kind of alignment screw but do those actually serve a purpose for keeping the headlight in place against the grill?
Thank you sir!!

Chief, I believe you are referring to the headlight adjusters. They hold the bucket in along with a spring. The trim ring holds the bulb to the bucket.
