Odd-ball VIN?

Hey everyone,

Just bought myself a new little project and just out of curiousity decided to run the VIN and figure out what I really have. I was able to decript everything except what model year it is. The guy I bought it from aquirred this truck from his dad and didn't know jack sh!t about it.(pretty sure he's never had a wrench in his hand. :lol: ) From what I can gather via grille style and equipment it should be about a 1978-1980.

Any help would be apprciated.

edit: FOUND

I hope that helps :)

to distinguish a 78 and a 79... the 79 headlight bezel encompasses the turn signal, the 78 does not.
