85 grille to an 88 grille???

[choptop]

The 81 and 82 front bumper had the signal holes. The quad headlights were available 83-up

I may have missed something here, but oldyellers 81 is original quad lights, and the 82 I just sold had quad headlights as well. If you plan on changing to the quad headlight, you will need the proper core support, and the grille and headlight bezels will have to be ofthe same year model, or close, so they will match. The will all pretty much bolt on together, but vary in design some.

My 82 also has original quad headlights.

Yes 81 up I don't know why I put 83. Maybe I typed it on my phone... sorry about that

so i have to find a core support that is a quad light? can i cut my core to make it work or is it not worth it? are the grilles different or is the grille the same? i thought someone on here had said the grilles would work. i have an aftermarket billet grille for my truck, and hoped to still use it after converting to the quad lights. will it bolt up or do i need to do some fabricating?

thanks

Get a core support. I have an extra one you can have if you want it... not sure where you're located. The grille will fit.

im from southern NH right on the mass border. so i need a core support from a dual headlight truck, and i've check a few salvage yards close by and no ones has anything yet. i'm actually leaning toward putting a phantom grille on it that covers the headlights. would that hide anything i would have to do to convert the single headlight to a dual? or am i just stuck finding or ordering a dual headlight core no matter what i do?

You need the Core support no matter what

Southern N.H. Hmmm, you must have snuck in while I wasn't looking!!!! From the Newfound lake area myself.

My 82 had the 4 headlight set up with the directionals in the bumper.
