Daniel Arms talked about your little treasure on his channel. That is a beauty! November of '78. That's why it's got the square '79 headlights. In my runnin' days, I had a '78. One of my runnin buddies found a '79, then his brother bought a '78 1/2 with square lights. Loved those old trucks. Yours is in great shape!

@williamhouk68803 ай бұрын
The square headlights were optional on the 78's. A construction supervisor that I worked for bought a new F 250 and ordered them on his truck. First time I'd ever seen them on a vehicle built in the U.S. back then.

What a beauty this truck is. I had a 79 which was a twin to this except in color. It was a pretty dark green. Unless I'm mistaken, those rectangular headlights identify this as a 79 model year. The 78s had round headlights, I believe. Either way, the new owner has a jewel.

That truck brings back so many memories. A guy that was like a grandpa to me had one almost identical. His was a long bed but same year and color. He used to pick me up after it snowed and would go out to the farm on the country roads and he would pull me down the road on a metal runner sled. We would probably get in trouble for that nowadays but sure was fun. He passed away in 2003 at 92 years old. Now after seeing this truck I'm on the hunt for one myself.
