Hey can someone photo shop for me and put a 73-74 grille and 73-78 headlight bezels on my 80?
thanks
-
It depends on the fenders and if you have the single square headlights on the 80. Are you side markers horizontal or vertical?
-
Yea it has 79 headlight bezels on it and vertical side markers...
Heres a pic...

Would a photo of a '74 with the correct grille and headlight bezels work for you?
-
Then yes, the grill and bezels should work, except you may have an issue with the hood release. The hood release on 73-77(?) trucks is straight up and in, and the lever on 78-79, the left side of it comes up and the right side stays. I dont know if that will cause an issue, its just a difference.

I have looked at alot of 73-74, I just wanted to see my truck with the grille conversion... I am also going to be getting all the brackets and hardware so i should be good there...

Fenders are the same for 73-80

I just turned my desktop on to find that my photoshop has vanished. I dont know what happened to it, but its kind of depressing. sorry I can help.

Exactly, Why not just look at a picture of a 73 or 74? ???

I think he wants to see it on his truck. I know, it would look the same as the front of any 73 - 74 truck, but some people cant visualize it unless they see it on their truck I guess.
-
There's a photo kickin around of the front end evolution of 73-87's on here somewhere.

Its not what you asked for, but maybe another option/idea.
Here is my '80 factory originial grille painted in black, the rest is just cleaned up a fine grade steel wool.

1980c10: I've not really been a fan of the late 70's - 1980 front grille/headlight bezel trucks, but your truck looks really good. I especially like the black around the headlamps on the headlight bezels.
Hotrod24: It's not a Photoshop picture like you requested; I took some liberties and changed the color, background, angle, made it a 4x4, put a chrome bumper on it and installed mudgrip tires.
Just kidding, here is my '74 K10, maybe this will help you some or maybe someone can use the grille to fulfill your request... (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-t-Ac99ij5Qs/T0hP3rEwy1I/AAAAAAAAAMo/RbYXmpaYCa0/s640/DSC09444.JPG)

Jason S that is exsacly what i want for it to look just look yours....

I'm glad I could assist.
You're going to have to get the correct brackets and hood latch parts for the swap. The best bet is to find a donor truck for the parts. Otherwise, you're going to have to carefully assemble the parts to make sure that you get the correct brackets.

Jason,
we have the grille and the brackets:

You just can't use a remote latch.

I stand corrected... I didn't know those parts were being reproduced.
