Could this be factory??
I was surfing Ebay and ran across this 77 Ford:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1862120114
It's listed as being a "limited production promo vehicle." Looks to me like a custom job - not factory. That's the first I've EVER heard of a 73-79 with factory buckets and console, not to mention the oval rear windows. Anyone have any insite?

Wow....I'll have to admit it is ....er...."interesting".....
I don't think I would like the oval windows, though......I like Harrison's BIG and WIDE windows.....it's a lot safer to see & drive than my wife's porche....

Kind of looks heavily customized. Maybe he is trying to say the F100 stepside was only produced two years in that body style... or something like that. I will have to defer to you guys to figure out what it is. I don't know enough about body styles and production runs.

I though the same thing when I one of those this summer by my house. I thought who in the world would do that to a truck!!! But this is the second on of these I have seen. The truck i saw was a green '77 F150 step side 4x4. It has that same interior and same windows and a vinyl roof. Those trucks are a mess! I think it was a horrible thing to do to a perfectly good truck.

The owner/advertiser appears to be female.
Maybe it was a joint customization by Ford & *Raress Barris* > George's younger brother.

The door panels look pretty amateurish. I really doubt Ford would put their name on that. Wouldn't be too hard to put back to stock though if that's just a padded vinyl roof glued on. The price didn't seem all that outrageous if a guy's bent on having a nice stepside.

I can remember back in the 70's you could buy those windows from JC Whitney. They were supposed to go on those "Conversion vans" that everyone did.
Far from being factory. In fact look at it this way. Those little windows in the back would never have gotten past the Feds and all their regulations. Even in the Carter years
