So you put a grill from a '78 onto your '77? That must be one wild looking Bronco...

All the 66-77 Broncos had round headlights... you sure you have the years right on this?

Yes, sorry I failed to explain myself very well, I am working on a 77custom pickup not a bronco, my son liked the looks of the bar grill in the 78 over the 77. The light support system is different from the rectangular light to the round light, so I need the base to the buckets from a bronco.

Check in the 73-79 truck forum. They will be able to answer your question.
If I remember correctly, you will need to change the entire core support to change grilles and headlights.

No you don't, the upper cap over the head light and re drill the base hole in the core support.
