You're better off staying with ones made for 67-79 trucks as these are all designed for king pins and 80 and up use ball joints. Besides in 80, they moved the steering linkage to the front of the i-beams so the spindles won't work.

do you know if 1979 F-100 and 1979 F-150 used the same I Beam and front end setup and will I Beams interchange?

Ry, The 150 is a 100 with a schosh heavier spring, same beam. Any I-beams for 65 - 79 will work.
