Gen1-2 swap -- Help with headlights

[Boggin]

im swapping the front of my for the front off my donor 88. i got them both stripped now i just need to start bolting up the 88 parts to the 89, but the headlights wont bolt up cause on the 88 the core support stuck out a bit for the screws to go right in through, and the core sup. on the 89 doesnt stick out there, so help me guys how can i attach my gen 1 headlights to my gen 2 and are there any more little tricks i should know about thanks guys i appreciate it

When we used a 88 cab on our 90 Ranger, I cut the headlight buckets out of both cabs and swapped the Gen2 buckets to the Gen1 cab. Not elegant, but be careful, make templates and good luck with the welding. Not the best way, but cheaper than buying the rad support from LMC truck and paying the shipping...

thanks for the tip, i think i will throw some kind of brackets on her sometime, but as for now i am putting on the fenders and grill, i dont need headlights cause i only use for passing time and screwing around in, so if i do start to do night wheeling {which i plan to} i will just use the offroad lights

youve become quite the problem solver boggin, much more "ranger able" than in the previous years. good luck with the swap!

thanks guys, i got it done anyways screw the headlights i dont need em, lol
all i got left to do is jam those self tapping screws in through the rad support for the grill and way to freakin go
