yea the 79 and I think maybe some late model 78's and the 80 with round headlights had the buckets that wrap the parklights as well as the headlights and the grille being small egg crate squares is from a 79/80. I like em alot of ppl says it's the ugliest of the 73-80 setups but IMo the sqyare lights are lol. Plus is your browse trucks parts catalogs alot like my you seen the years listed for such items. I had no clue myself until way after we scraped the truck, it was a 76 but had the hood changed, grille, buckets, and who knows what else.

Thanks, Dane.  I would love to do a frame up job on it in the future.  Just don't know how far into the future that may be.  As for now, getting it running at it's peak is the goal.  New tires, exhaust, motor upgrades are coming up.

Shane, your 87 looks awesome.  Way better shape than mine, but they are similar.
