jbass17 · 07-01-2009, 02:30 PM

I'm looking for my first truck and i found a few pictures of possible trucks. can anyone tell me what model/year these are?

I cant pin down the exact year. But the first one looks like a early to mid 80s (with a 90s bed). And the second looks like a mid to late 70s.

Disclaimer........I could be wrong lol But I just wanted to try to help lol

red one is 80-86 brown one is I believe a 78-79, could tell for sure if I could see the grille.

2nd one looks like it might have square headlights, so it would be a 79. unless it is an F150 instead of an F100

I can definitely say the first one is an 80's body style and the 2nd one I believe is a 79. If I had a pic of the grill I could tell (god bless 75k30 for his wisdom).

Exact years? I'm just not that good ... yet...

The first one is a 1980-1986 ford......
The Second one is a 1978-79 ....... the front clip has the setup for these years..... the 78 would have a round head light and the 79 a square head light(with some exceptions to that rule of thumb)........ If you find a 78 with round and want the square, Its just as easy as switching the headlight and surrounding bezel(It was that easy for my 78 f250 anyway.
However, the one that you have pictured is a f150 shortbed stepside....A bit harder to find.
I have a 1985 Ford f350 Dually that you can have if you want to come and get it......

Hey, just in case you don't believe all those other 257 responses above this one. I agree, the first one is 80-86 and hard to pin down exact since the grill is custom, and the second one is 78 or 79.

First one is a 1984 F-150 had the same truck and also in a Bronco series too. The other is surely a 79
