I was just going to say that. The $138.00 quoted earlier is for the headlamp assembly (the clear plastic and mounting bracket)
There are two types of headlamps used on that era of GM truck. sealed beam (glass lens, more square) and composite (plastic lens, long and skinny) For composite lights,there should be two rods that are six sided like the head of a bolt sticking up (vertically) through the radiator core support (metal the grille, headlights and radiator attaches to). Find a socket to fit the rods, remove and pull out the headlight assembly, twist the bulb about a half turn to release it from the assembly and replace. It is indeed like the pic bradk put up. The pic is of a GMC but the procedure is the same for chevy.
The sealed beam is like most other sealed beam replacements. There is a metal ring around the lamp that is held in place by four screws, probebly torx head, remove them and the ring. The light will come out.
Might I suggest using a Napa,Carquest, or an independent auto parts store. The kids that work at O"reilly and Autozone rarely can help someone that does not know exactly what they are looking for. I have a fleet of trucks, and am very mechanically inclined and try to avoid these places as much as possible. The Napa"s and Carquest"s generally have noligible people who are willing to help. At least that is my experience in my part of Texas. By the way, Texas is a whole lot bigger than Illinois, or any of those other "fly over states." I would not live anywhere else!! >P.S. if you don"t think you have either one of these type of lamps or are unsure, post a pick and let me look at it.
