    1978 custom had that style grille but with round headlights. Ranger, xlt, and Lariat had square. In 1979, they were all square regardless of trim.

    The more and more I see these new, almost fully electric trucks. The more I miss the old schools. Man, I havent seen groundhogs or super swampers thornburgs since 99! Had those on my 81 & 85 broncos. Miss those trucks! Respect the work on this one!

    The tires are as much a classic as the rest of the truck is. Absolutely beautiful.

    Beautiful red paint! Those ground hawg tires are total throw back and period correct for that rig 👍

    @jerryfrederick6610 4 месяца назад +4

    I loved my 38"" "Ground Hawgs" on my 1979 F-350.
    Damn Great Tire in the mud.
    They cleaned off nicely going forward for traction and dug like a crazy in reverse.
    My truck use to throw shovel sized chunks of mud thirty feet in the air.
    Sad, they are not made anymore.

    I'm not a Ford guy, but yes, in 78 you could get either round or rectangle headlights. Beautiful truck

    @dammitbobby283 4 месяца назад +1

    I had a 1978 F150 4x4 on 33s with round headlights and the same grill in this video. It was a fun truck but my favorite was a 1988 Ranger 4x4. I bought another 1988 Ranger 4x4 extended cab a while back, plan on a body-off resto mod.

  • @ericmartin9696
    @ericmartin9696 5 месяцев назад +4

    Very nice looking truck.
    You asked about round verses square headlights. This is what I was told years ago. Regular leaded gas fazed out mid 78.
    First half of year was okay . Second half was not. To keep the difference round headlights was the first half. Square headlight was the second. 78 1/2
    Had smog pump,smaller gas filler for unleaded gas not to get regular gas pump nozzle. Catalyst converter on exhaust.
    All can be taken off And still run.(gas filler was beaten out to receive regular gas being fazed out)
    78 round headlight
    78 1/2 square headlight
    FYI

      They’re not scared. Just go on their website and you will see it right there or you would except that it’s already sold.

    • @armygreenfj3924
      @armygreenfj3924 4 месяца назад +6

      If you were a business owner you would understand why their prices are expensive. They have to make money somehow. You just have to appreciate that they actually sell high quality vehicles. But you have to ask yourself would you rather have a new F150 Raptor or this classic truck. These trucks are just going up and up in value. I can tell you this I’ve been watching Vanguard motors for nearly 10 years and if you would of bought from them 10 years ago you would’ve paid a 1/4 of the price compared to todays prices. Theres a lot of people out there with money I can tell you people in Japan or even in the Middle East would pay these premium prices. If you were to build this truck you would spend over 100k alone not to mention it’ll probably be in the shop for 2-5 years if you’re lucky 😂

  • @Robert_Mann
    @Robert_Mann 5 месяцев назад +4

    Man that is nice! I have a '78 F250 4x4 just like that but no where near as nice. I kept the '77 style grille because I was sick of the people arguing about what was "proper" for '78 so I swapped the Bronco/fishmouth grille for a '77
    You are right about not being able to do highway speeds so on mine I ditched the C6 for an E4OD and now I get some strange looks keeping up with traffic at 70+mph! Oh and I didnt know the Denman Ground Hawg tire was back in production so I Googled it just now to find out that in 2017 Interco started making them again! I think I'll throw a set of those in my truck when the Baja Claws wear out. Thanks for showing us this sweet ride!
