i have a single light front clip on her now, and i'm debating putting a double headlight front clip on. I want to know what you guys think, and what clip you like better. i already have the 87 front clip, i just want a second opinion, or more.

me personally, i like the smaller side by side dual lamps, over the big over under lamps. but it's your truck, so it's your opinion. Post pics of your square, and the clip you have that you are referring to, and welcome to GMSQUAREBODY.

There's a couple years of the single headlights that I like, but for the most part I like the quads better. Nice thing about 4 headlights is if one burns out, you still have a headlight on that side. Lol.

Miniquads FTW! :cheers:

I prefer 73-78 "round-eye" style myself with the turn signal lens seperate from the headlight bucket, looks more like a muscle car to me. But if I had one newer than 80 something I would go for miniquads.

round headlights for me.

I do not like rthe square/rectangle ones.

I hate the quad lights, as shown above, never liked them, not even on the 88-98 trucks, hate em on squarebodies.

I say singles, either round or the rectangle ones. MAYBE the dual stacked, that would be my last option though.

I think my favorite front end from 73-87 is the 81-82 quads.

THIS^^^

I like them all besides the single square headlight setup. I like the single rounds look, and the 80's quads with the turn signals in the grill. But my favorite is the 88-91 Suburban/Blazer miniquads.


BUT, I like the Chevy version more than the GMC, but I am stuck the the GMC grill, lol. :shitsweak:
