Then, comes the dilemma... I wanted the 79 tails but now I have to figure out how to make that happen on the 78. Should be a direct swap right? Well, not exactly. For some reason, GM made small changes that are going to make this not such a direct swap and will require a few modifications. But thats what power tools are for.
The side corner plastic pieces fit perfectly more or less. One small hole missing but not a big deal. I’ll drill it later.
Holes are missing for the outside of the tail lights but I’ll do some measurements, mark and drill it out to make it fit in. Yes, I’m on the lookout for new tails too lol these have seen better days.
Not sure why this was even done.. they could have literally kept this part the same and simplified the manufacturing process a little bit, but I wasn’t alive to know what was going on in 78-79.
Will update more when I take the sawzall to the roof of the 79 [emoji16]
