    Looks like you got a good start there! You Gonna restore it? What engine is in that thing? What year? sorry about all the questions,but I love 359's!! as far as headlights;we had found a few sets online but they were just more than we wanted to pay... Good luck with the hunt! You got lots of potential there!! And it really doesent look all that bad now!

    Nice! You know, it speaks of someone's intelligence, if they can't see any difference between this and any other truck.:dontknow: I drove an '82 daycab that looked just like that.

    Getting there, I like the chrome single round, but your choice, I like the 4 square ( rectangle I was corrected) headlights too. Please tell us you are going to paint it, and not run this "patina" crap,,,

    Here’s the oem 359 square ones I’m restoring for the truck..I’ve given up on looking for some oem squares…I’m going with the halogen glass lens as well. Truck is original for most part except for the winds and visor but it’s my personal mods that I like.next is stainless steel stacks tips im flushing engine and getting new cooling system.and radiator IMG_1746.jpeg IMG_9012.jpeg

    May I offer a suggestion.. take a look at the Holley OEM replace glass lenses their not cheap but their well worth the money as far as better lighting they offer different options as far as your choice for lighting .
    I myself restored a set of OEM double rounds I chose to go with LED bulbs simply because incandescent lighting choices & lighting quality suck for double rounds but I wanted to keep the OEM look plus the fact the inner adjustment brackets are expensive and will always be a PITA Holley offers glass lenses that are good quality and the OEM look that are LED. A large percentage of the auto restorations choose to go that route
    And I have no love for HID lighting and all the BS that goes with it
