The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

NOS, almost impossible to find but there are a lot of used ones on the internet. I had to get one for my creased '79.

Taps played at my house for this loss of my favorite truck grille ever.


I want my fair share

My memory is seeing this arrangement one other time. I had a Direct Connection catalog in the 1979 to 1981 time frame that had a pickup on the cover with the stacked 79 headlights in a 77 / 78 grill. It also had a Challenger R/T style hood, front spoiler that flowed into fender flares. Base color was white, but had other colors as well.

Does anybody else ever recall seeing the image I describe above? I have tried to find it again in this internet era, but never have.

I think Stull made square h/l conversion grilles that were horizontal bars.
Been years since I saw one though. Quick search found this pic, I do remember seeing these on magazine covers.
Hopefully someone has archive photos

Big deal... maybe the guy likes quad stacked headlights on his truck, nothing wrong with that.
It is HIS truck, after all. work

Drivers Fender has a RAM emblem. Didn't they start using that in the very early 80's....so not on a 77? Not an expert, just asking....
