1968 headlight buckets. Pics attached.

Good evening all. Came across a little issue in my build. Looks the the rad support is a newer style. I have a 68. The one I have has buckets already tacked in place. Can I make this work or do I have to change rad support. Thank you.

Is it just a matter of drilling out attached buckets on newer style support

Just remove the later style buckets. Not sure if you will have to drill some square holes after that but I think they are already there. I did the same thing with a GMC support years ago.

If you can post a side view of your truck, I love the old CP200 American Racing wheels.

Good luck, Rg

Sure. I ended up finding a complete 68 parts truck right close to me. I’ll do the swap. Here’s a picture.

Nice, looks like it's in good shape.

Good luck, Rg
