One thing to remember is that the later models (76?- 79) had nice things like front disc brakes.
I also thought that cabs were lengthened at some point in this era, but don't quote me on that.

My 74 has disks on the front. Came that way from the factory. I think they started in 73, but it might have been 74.

I wish the truck sales market was like that here in North Dakota, because it would make me feel really good to know that the truck I just bought, '79 F150 with a new 460, Holley 650, fuel pump, water pump, filters, battery, cam, tonneu cover, & frame off restore 10 years ago (only 67k on it total!) for $3750 could make some real cash if I ever sold it. Hope everything works out for you. I agree with previous posts of Southern California trucks being nice and fairly abundant.
