Dare i say it?
Headlights form Hilux, early Toyota seem to be a universal fit.

Alistair,
Yes the actual headlamps themselves are right but the mounting system is angled : one headlamp is set back further than the other.
Hopefully as BigCam and disco have suggested, eary kenworth may fit; early western star would also be the go but trying to find them - hmmm
cheers guys

i am sure that royans in wagga have at least 5 or more scrapped western stars in their yard...
while we are on the subject i am looking for some square headlight surrounds that have 1 above the other , the same as a 9300 transtar

Melonreo, I reckon yours is easier - the "stacked" headlamp surrounds as on transtar are the same as may be found on early Chev/GMC pick up trucks - Eagle Spares (NSW, Vic, QLD) should all have them new.

Guys also check out all late 80's -early 90's jap cars, eg Nissan 720 utes, Datsun Stanzas, you name it. Even FSR isuzu trucks are similar. It will be a stretch to find one that is exactly right, but I'd make a bet that they are not all individual. I went through all this years ago converting a round headlight rally car into a twin square headlight rally car.
The actual headlights are the easy bit, they are as common as muck and you can get either halogen or sealed beam, pretty much anywhere.
I reckon I'd spend a day at the biggest oldest wrecking yard you can find! Good luck..
