54 headlights

hey guys, Iam wiring my 54 pick up with a heywire kit but need to pick up some headlights for it . I've installed the 56 grille and used my 54 baskets by cutting the lip of the basket and it sets in just fine but I need to know what seal beams i need. i know there the old style round and I think they were 2006 is that right ? also is the headlight doors from the 56 going to fit with my old baskets I think there is only one screw that holds the door in position but don't see where it would go. any help would be appreciated. bill

Bill,

Assuming you have converted to 12V any seven inch sealed beam light should work. I used a couple out of a 75 Malibu on my 48.
