X2 on you do NOT have to change radiator core support, the markings are there on where to drill to change the complete headlight bucket assemblies.
77 to 79 or the other way around? 79 has rectangle headlights and 77 will have round ones, also to go that year change you need to change the outer grill shell due to the 79 having one insert and the 77 has 2.

My rep gun is cleaned up and firing that way all the time. I like having earthquake68 (Alan) a phone call and a short 1 hr road trip away.
FYI I sold him that outer grill shell, that is how we met years ago.
