Mil1ion - is this based on production numbers, or just ease to find (I'm guessing you have production numbers stored in your head!). I can say I've only see a couple, I own what is left of one of them.
I had a 1979 F250 2wd Short Crew Lariat with a 460. I also had a 1979 F150 Supercab Lariat 4x4. I think both had air,tilt, cruise, and the nice headliners/door panels - though I can't be sure on the crew. Is that 1979 F350 rarer than the 2wd crews and scabs in lariat trim?
I still have a rust free 1979 F350 4x4 Lariat complete cab/front clip (titled), rust free, storing it inside, for the right project. It's D60's are under the front of my 1978 Crew, 3.54 gears I believe. My current crew is Custom trim, plenty of those (at least there were!). The rest of the body and frame of the F350 was questionable due to rust and welds and is gone.
Just curious,
jon.

My Regular cab Ranger has all the items that the brochure stated for the Regular cab Lariat. Original two tone paint (Yellowish & Bown) can be seen in the door jam, along with the headliner with trim, exterior mouldings. It had carpet, I tore out the rotted remains. It seems vague.

I still have to set up my 2000 with a hoist and that has not happen yet..
I'm also looking for a 1967-1977 that I can shove a 6.9 or a 7.3 under the hood. Unfortunately that take time that I can not find...LOL

I thought w/ 3,300 or so made...that the Super Camper Specials would have been the rarest....

Well...
Im sure that Dennis or Bill will happily chime in with production numbers...but remember..the 3,300 was spanning from all of 73-79...not just one particular year. Hypotheitcally if they made an even number each year it would break down to 550 a year.
