DAMNDUKE · 11-03-2009, 04:48 AM

I was wondering if the headlights are changeable on different years and models? can i put the year of a 1977's headlights and grill on an 85 chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 and is it expensive to switch and automatic to a manual?

Welcome to the forum and howdy from TEXAS. I pretty sure it's going to be a lot of work and money your going to have to change out the radiator support which includes where the headlights go plus on the trans that's up to you it takes time & money motor mounts plus more.

hmmm probly not worth it.... but the truck im lookin at comes with a b&m floor shifter... I have never heard of it... but i am guessing you can either put it in drive or control what gear you are in...? is that how it works?

not expensive if you have a donor truck but by the time you put the effort into putting the clutch assembly in and install the clutch master cylinder on the firewall, yada, yada, yada, you will probably not like the work at all. lots of tedious work.
