Differences 77 & 78 F250
How much part difference is there between the 1977 and 1978 F250?
Looking at a 77 for parts for my 78. Shouldn't I be able to swap out a lot of the body parts between these two?
Both have a 460 engines, betting they both have the C6 transmission too.
My 78 is a Custom and the 77 is a camper special. Both long wheelbase, flareside. Short cab.

Body parts are the same.
The C6's are different.
The 78 has a Transmission mounted NSS
The 77 has a column mounted NSS
Only suspension parts are the same if both are 4x2's

For fun, you can put the 77 hood on your 78 and not have F O R D in the front, or you can work hard for a day and put the 77 style front of your front clip on your 78 and use your 78 hood and have F OR D on there twice
