You have to modify.The rad support has to be cut for clearance. the lower mounts of the headlights hook in to the rad support, and the top bolts in. the standoffs for the lower tabs are in the rad support, but they are not opened up for the headlight tabs. The sealed beam rad support is clearly different than the composite light one, but it can be done because they are similar.
That link sums it up well.

This large mass of black and blue was kind of blah and dead looking, and needed something. for the short term, I sprayed the original wheels a cast grey color. I thought it would bring out the chrome center caps which it did, but I wasn't thrilled with it overall.
But today I scored a set of factory chrome wheels and centercaps off of Craigslist for $100. And a set of General Grabbers at work that no one wanted. I think its its what this barge needed. Pleased with the overall look.
I also recently tinted the front door glass 35%, backed it out of the shop, and tore it off within minutes. It looked too dark and kind of ghetto to me. So I re did it with 42%. Much better in my opinion.

Never was a fan of how these ventshade things would look on my other trucks, but figured i'd try them on the work van. In channel ones are the only ones i'd consider.
And my answer to the cracked and faded bowtie...
