I once owned a 91 camaro that I installed 88-99 Chev truck composite headlight assembles into. They worked great. Made a frame out of half inch square tube to mount them. Thing is they have a lot of angle to the grill if you look at the front of an 88-up pickup and that you cant change or you cant adjust.  Worked on a camaro but on a flat front C-10??

Ive seen it done in person with the 96 style composit lights. looks ok, but the light beam is not going to be nice at all. the left beams will be pointed to the right, and the right beams will be pointed left when the housings are flush looking on the grille. the only hope you have is to seperate the lense from the base and mod the heck out of the base then re-glue it. the guy that did his swap lived with the crappy beam alignment and he used 4 bolts and washers to space it out from the core support.
