Getting the Wheeling Fever
I want to put an older style grille with round sealed beams in, is this a direct fit, or are there mods that will need to be done?

thank you, anyone want to trade grilles? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

I can't tell you but I know it's been done. Try using the search feature and see if you can find some info on the swap.

its about as close to bolt up as you can get. the wiring harness for the headlights is a bit different.

Yeap the parts all just bolt in (don't forget to get the round buckets for the head lights) But you will need to redo some wiring.

Independent4x.com sells a kit. Other than that you will have to search the salvage yards or ebay. The years you want are 1984-1986.
