The mid side molding id's it as a 73-79 Ford body style. The side gas caps id it as a 76 and earlier (assuming it's the original bed). The dog dish hub caps can probably zero in on the year. I'm guessing 73 or 74. I can't tell if the rear wheel set back is enough to id it as a super camper special.

The 77 had Fuel Doors.
76 was the last year of exposed gas tank caps
The 75 has 3 horizontal strips of chrome outboard of the headlight. These are inline with the 3 horizontal chrome strips of the grille.
The 76 has the headlight bezel as the trim piece.

1973-1976 F-250 Ranger XLT. Possibly Camper Special.
This is my guess.
It's got the exposed gas caps, that narrows the range to 1973-1976.
It's got the F-250 or F-350, Bright Dog Dish Hub Caps.
It's got the lower molding and tailgate molding pieces that came standard on Ranger XLTs before 1977. Also it has a cargo lamp that is also before 1977.
It has west coast mirrors on it, and these were offered with camper special packages.
It also has what looks like a factory slider...
Although it could be a highly optioned 1973-1975 F-250 Custom, it looks like it has badge holes under the rear marker light. The 1973-1975 had a custom badge, the 1976 omitted the custom badge.
But with the cargo light, Ranger XLT trim, West coast mirrors, slider, dual tanks, the hub caps ....
So my Guess, 1973-1976 F-250 Camper special Ranger XLT. 2 wheel drive
Cant tell any more from that angle.

i dont think the pic was taken in the 70's if you look in the garage you can see what looks like the back of a mini van i would guess 74 75 f250
