Round headlights are nice, but I like my square 79 / 80 headlights :D

79 but I have reason to be partial my dad had one that he bought brand new and special ordered. The guy he sold it to still has it so I see it every once and a while.

i'd go 73-78 myself, but i am a little biased with a stock 77, and an 80 with a stock 77 clip on it. both seem to have 80 grilles though. :crazy:

Nice looking truck. Sounds like it should be sweet when it gets done. Keep up the good work!

i don't know if it's that she's into the hobby or just so into me that i've transgressed my passion onto her. :waah: whatever it is, it's quite awesome!

83-84 for sure

Keep up the progress!

I think that truck in grey with some of those same style mustang wheels with a dish would look nice, dubs or course.

my 79 has had both front ends. It had 73-78 when I got it, and I put the 79-80 back on and think it looks better, IMO. Nice project!

i would have painted the trans too, but i figure it's a driver and it gets the best of the road grime. so time painting that went into engine accessories.
