Didn't realize so many people were taking out the rectangle lights out and swapping in "round eyes". I personally think the rectangles look pretty cool so I took out the round eye and modified in the rectangle "eye" in my 79 GMC Royal Sierra Heavy Half. For all of you who have swapped your rectangle eyes for round I would be interested in buying your rectangle bezels.

You aren't aren't alone. Last year, my son bought a '79 from the original owner's brother. It had the '80 style lights and bezels on it. When we replaced the headlight bulbs, we realized the '79 parts were simply modified for the square headlights and '80 bezels. Apparently the guy wanted his newly purchased '79 to look like the brand new '80 model back then.
