Headlight Bucket Question

Okay, so I just picked up a '68 F100 Ranger with a 360 with 120,000 miles on it. I traded my hunting bow for it and drove it 50 miles back home. Now, for the conditon its it, its great compared to what I traded for it, the only issue is the grill is a bit bent up, and the headlights and bezzels are gone. So in order for it to be "road-worthy" I just need the headlights set up. I have the two buckets and got the grill out tonight and realized there is no frame for the buckets to attach to, I have looked all over and cannot for the life of my find a bucket frame or if there even is one. Any help would be great!

The buckets should attach to the core support with adjusting screws and a retaining spring.

One of the parts guys might post a MPC ILL of the grille asm.

The buckets attach to the grill with 2 screws and a spring. I KNOW some one will be along to post up some pictures to clearly identify things for you.

The headlight trim happens to be off of mine right now so here are a couple of quick photos


There's also a spring on the other side pulling away from the adjusting screws that I want able to get a good photo of.

DC has the 67/69 buckets, adjusters, and springs at www.dennis-carpenter.com. 67/69 buckets are different than 70/72.
