    Those are the standard ones,the custom regal had headlight rings that had almost a formed visor at the top edge,almost like a '55 buick

    Correct, Not So Fast. Custom Regal's ring are different from the ''poor man's'' models.
    It does have kind of visor on the top.

  4. although a couple of years younger, I have a 53 Dodge truck, chopped, sitting on a 90 Dakota frame, built 68 Dodge 318 with a 904 trans. Just got the motor running a couple of weeks ago.

    I have a custom grille out of a 54-56 Dodge truck, but really need another upper grille bar. Anyone got a spare??????

    Frenching the headlights will definitely get rid of the bulging eyes look of these old trucks; as was the reason I used lights and turn-lights from a Chrysler Cordoba; when II built the truck the second time I used 4 inch amber LEDs for park/turn lights in the old Cordoba recessed rings[​IMG]
