I’m having a my brain isn’t braining issue…
I purchased a truck that I swear the owner was inspired by Johnny Cash’s “one piece at a time” song… anyways I’m trying to get the correct radiator core support to have the 85 dual headlights .. (like the black truck pictured, not the brown) is there a plastic mounting piece or something I’m missing to hold the headlight bucket to the core support? Any advice and/or pictures would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck

Been a while since I had it apart but I believe, plastic threaded inserts that the mounting adjusting screws thread into.

Yeah I know about the headlight adjuster… is there something besides that though? Appreciate the help… also, is the core support for and 85 different than an 87-90 suburban.. I think thats whats in mine.. bottom hole in the support is different shape.

Nope it's the two headlight adjusters and then a single tensioner spring, that's all that holds them in.

The core support is different for 87-91 subs. They have the small quad headlights.
