[@Twizztify]

1978 custom had that style grille but with round headlights. Ranger, xlt, and Lariat had square. In 1979, they were all square regardless of trim.

[@jerryfrederick6610]

Amazing how many people don't know that little detail.

[@JamesHover-fx5zh]

Nope

[@JamesHover-fx5zh]

To bad it's red?

[@JamesHover-fx5zh]

Beautiful though

[@DRDRE-ex6yg]

You can't say enough about Vanguard; they are the absolute best!!! Their quality is unmatched ✊

[@michaelselman9885]

What a beautiful Ford F-250 pick up truck. ❤

[@toprail]

Now that’s a sweet truck! You can hear the bias ply ground hawg tires shaking your voice as you drive it around haha

[@marleyboy7732]

The more and more I see these new, almost fully electric trucks. The more I miss the old schools. Man, I havent seen groundhogs or super swampers thornburgs since 99! Had those on my 81 & 85 broncos. Miss those trucks! Respect the work on this one!

[@NunyaBusiness251]

Yes square headlight same as the bronco of the same years. BEAUTIFUL!

[@lifeonthefarm6001]

The tires are as much a classic as the rest of the truck is. Absolutely beautiful.

[@jerryfrederick6610]

I loved my 38"" "Ground Hawgs" on my 1979 F-350. Damn Great Tire in the mud. They cleaned off nicely going forward for traction and dug like a crazy in reverse. My truck use to throw shovel sized chunks of mud thirty feet in the air. Sad, they are not made anymore.

[@HOGANSGARAGE2]

Beautiful red paint! Those ground hawg tires are total throw back and period correct for that rig 👍

[@Robert_Mann]

Man that is nice! I have a '78 F250 4x4 just like that but no where near as nice. I kept the '77 style grille because I was sick of the people arguing about what was "proper" for '78 so I swapped the Bronco/fishmouth grille for a '77 You are right about not being able to do highway speeds so on mine I ditched the C6 for an E4OD and now I get some strange looks keeping up with traffic at 70+mph! Oh and I didnt know the Denman Ground Hawg tire was back in production so I Googled it just now to find out that in 2017 Interco started making them again! I think I'll throw a set of those in my truck when the Baja Claws wear out. Thanks for showing us this sweet ride!

[@donaldwilliams2270]

If you have to ask , you probable can't afford it , and still have to spring for some aftermarket Air Conditioning , Super nice build thanks Vanguard Motor Sales

[@markruffner9143]

I just can't imagine taking this off-road. Love everything about it and built like a tank.

[@kalybnielsen4183]

I'm not a Ford guy, but yes, in 78 you could get either round or rectangle headlights. Beautiful truck

[@officialmallcrawler]

Sweet ol' Ford! Congradulations to the new owner.

[@ericmartin9696]

Very nice looking truck. You asked about round verses square headlights. This is what I was told years ago. Regular leaded gas fazed out mid 78. First half of year was okay . Second half was not. To keep the difference round headlights was the first half. Square headlight was the second. 78 1/2 Had smog pump,smaller gas filler for unleaded gas not to get regular gas pump nozzle. Catalyst converter on exhaust. All can be taken off And still run.(gas filler was beaten out to receive regular gas being fazed out) 78 round headlight 78 1/2 square headlight FYI

[@petergonzalez3018]

The 1978 CUSTOM trim had round headlights the 78 RANGER had square. In 79 all got square regardless of trim. Nothing to do with 1/2 year early or late.

[@broper4866]

1st) there is no sway bar up front the item pointed to is a pan hard bar 2nd) no liners on frt finders? there should be big plastic inner fenders to protect metel 3rd) big difference between painted new paint and rebuilt rebuild and replaced noticed these terms being used with complete disregurd of actual state of condition regard to parts ect

[@bfields1448]

My dad has a 74 f350 same color, with a dump bed. 460ci. That truck is to dam beautiful to take off roading.

[@charlesjones2485]

Grew up with a 1978 F150 we had it for over 30 years for the motor went finally went out yes and it did come with square headlights

[@victorrojas6372]

Square lights in 78 were from the xlt model, the round ones, from the custom truck…79 both of the models were square lights

[@christopherwilliams3977]

I kinda knew that this beauty wasn't going to last long. What a beauty!

[@zsavage1820]

Besides the tires.. the first thing I'd take off and throw in the nearest garbage can is the Holly carb.. and get and Edelbrock 800 CFM With Electric Choke,

[@jayscott1380]

Wish i had J Leno type money. So many awesome vehicles I'd like to have.

[@troygemmell8543]

Interco makes ground hawgs they are called cobalt Mt. I have a set of 35*12.5*17 on my 4Runner oh and they are radial

[@albertpetry7238]

I agree. It's gorgeous. But how much?

[@philclark1688]

Why yall scared to post asking price?

[@vanguardmotorsales]

All of our prices are posted on our website! All you have to do to see the price is clink the link at the top of the description!

[@bigslim492]

They’re not scared. Just go on their website and you will see it right there or you would except that it’s already sold.

[@armygreenfj3924]

If you were a business owner you would understand why their prices are expensive. They have to make money somehow. You just have to appreciate that they actually sell high quality vehicles. But you have to ask yourself would you rather have a new F150 Raptor or this classic truck. These trucks are just going up and up in value. I can tell you this I’ve been watching Vanguard motors for nearly 10 years and if you would of bought from them 10 years ago you would’ve paid a 1/4 of the price compared to todays prices. Theres a lot of people out there with money I can tell you people in Japan or even in the Middle East would pay these premium prices. If you were to build this truck you would spend over 100k alone not to mention it’ll probably be in the shop for 2-5 years if you’re lucky 😂

[@a2thee270]

I haven't been on the site but that machine is $70-90k if I'm low I mean no disrespect to anyone who put hardwork into her.

[@M.Arbogast]

The balls on people asking 100k plus for these trucks

[@MikeMadison-z7o]

I love hot rod cars and had a few,I've also had some raced up 4x4s . Two lifted with massive tires . I would love this truck more than the car. I'd drive too.

[@dirtynorthjerz]

My dad has a '79 f100 stepside 2wd that he's had since new when he got it in highschool. Id love to get a 78/79 4x4

[@danieledwards7178]

Wow ... that Paint looks Flawless...

[@SuperDcopeland]

78 and 79 all had square lights. I had a 77 with the round lights and a split grill.

[@RUBICON-zu6wl]

Love that body style!!

[@86os-n6b]

Beautiful truck! Awesome

[@riderhd5545]

Old friend of mine had one just like it that thing was cool

[@keithexum7312]

Yep you can tell it has ground hawgs. I had them back in the day. Took 2 miles for them to get round again.

[@coincollectorchase]

Now that's a truck. It is beautiful. Screw the new model for 90k, if I could even get one I'd use the money for a truck just like that but Standard.

[@peterpeplinski9923]

78 rangers had square headlights. 78 customs had round headlights

[@greggatto4023]

[@cassioqueixodenoistodos9365]

[@petermccuskey1832]

I owned one with a Larriet package. The early 78 had round headlights and the latter 78 had rectangle.

[@jbncnow]

In 78 the custom trim level had round lights and the upper trim levels had the square ones with black around the lights. I think the Ranger XLT Lariets had the fully chomed bezells in 78 and 79

[@anthonylewis9572]

[@terryscanlon56]

[@yodajolewis1728]

I would put a set of KO2 BFGoodrich raised white letters on it

[@donjerlis]

I always heard that in 1978 you could get the chrome square headlights. In 1979 you got the black square headlights. Just a little piece of information that I got from an old man about 35 years ago. Rip Buck Brown.

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

As for bed options how come they're limited on F250 3/4 ton & F350 1 ton trucks in a regular cab configuration how come it's only an 8 foot long bed not a short bed like the F150 1/2 ton trucks do
