Tail lamp is a one piece plastic assembly, socket w/wires twists into plastic body.

These tail lamps and sockets are the same as: 1975/91 Econoline & 1978/79 Bronco. Sockets are also the same as 1971/72 & 1977 Pinto/Bobcat.
================================================== =========================================
1973/79 F350's on the 140" wheelbase:

1973/76 Super Camper Special / 1973/79 Regular Cab Trailer Special / 1977/79 Regular Cab Camper Special.

Ford dropped "Super" after 1976.
