    Hey...Well I just finished my round head light swap...That was easy and I love the older look so much more...While I had the front apart I used the time to try my new welder....I filled the side marker lights in the front fenders...After a day of putty and sanding..Alot of sanding...I now have my trucks first body mod finished....Not bad for a days work...

    I think so too, thought the only diff was the fenders and rubber bed flares? :shrug:
    and the rounds are MUCH better looking, been tempted to do the swap on my 84 4x4
