Default "WTB" Grill Mount Headlight Buckets

I am looking for a set of those grill mounted headlight buckets that used to be sold by most vendors back in the day (as I was told). I believe they were discontinued due to the noncompliant height of the headlight beam. If anyone remembers Dave Hoppers "Rolling Thunder," he had a set mounted on his Vette (I don't have a picture readily available).

Not sure how they were advertised with regards to application years. I have a 71 that I am looking to mount them on provided Ican find a pair of course. Just thought maybe some of you may have a set laying around that you may want to part with.

Thanks all,

Terry

Guys,
Here's what I was talking about. I finally found a pic of Rolling Thunder. I'm looking for the ones that you can mount the round headlights into and possibly still install the grill. Eventually going to install HID's.

Thanx guys

Terry

Now that is different I usually see them with the monza square lights. Cool looking with the round lights!

Glen,
I haven't heard back since he fiirst responded either. I just assumed he "maybe" had the Monza style and just didn't get back with me. Let me know if you hear something and I'll do the same back to you.
