I got the H4 housings from Susquehanna along with the harness, H1 housings I found cheap on Amazon as an open box deal. All are e code housings. Couldn’t pass on the price. I was prob at about $365 total for everything. Money well spent IMHO
Man, I wish I had known this was happening. Would have loved to bear witness to the swap. Oh well, guess that means I'll try to wrangle you as an experienced bystander when I pull my tranny here in the next few month. You have been formally warned!

The weekend started today as I changed the clutch fan on my 84...wasn't too bad. I didn't have to take off the belt. I did; however, did disconnect the top radiator hose which made the ease of it coming out better. I ordered an Aisin Fan Clutch off Amazon (with tax was $75), which stated it would fit Osiris...it DID NOT, so don't make the mistake I made Do not order Aisin FCT-017 Clutch Fan because it's totally different. I read another forum on here and went with Napa (274336- around $57) and it was exactly like the one that came off.
Notice the difference from the original compared to the Amazon one.
Installation was smooth and I didn't have to use a special tool to turn the water pump as I used a flat head screw driver and turn it.

Does your hi beam indicator light on the dash still work after swapping in the wiring harness?
How ‘bout that 400W of hi beams going down range? Woohoo!!
Yeah, high beam indicator works. The high beams really turn it to daylight

Let me rephrase ...it did fit but I was told by a mechanic here that the part that is going on should look like the part coming off. So if it fits on your 84 then i stand corrected.
Hell yeah man, I got everything you need to do it.
I have to agree with @Gretsch...not sure what's on the right, but the left is what came off my 60 and what showed up in the mail when I ordered a new fan clutch.
It’s custom, the PO designed and built it.
More rust repair.

Got the front Ironman suspension put on minus the steering stabilizer that I cant get off. Started on the rear suspension. I am still amazed at the lack of rust, I think I really lucked out.
I really need to get a new phone with a working camera!

Started working on temporarily converting my firewood shed into a car port to keep the cab dry...
I think I am going to take down the rear wall between wood storage and the mower shed so I can get the truck all the way under cover until the shop is built.
Also worked on my daily driver a bit, new exhaust and intake going on slowly.

Have not worked on a 60 in some time 
. However, my son @mcguirejohnson helped me do the injectors (LB7) on Fetcher who’s hauled many cruisers & parts over the years. Also my DD.
