I like the old style 72, but the 68 is a prettier grill. It also has the FORD emblem in the center of the grill.
If it's for a 4x4 I would go the 79 with blackened bezels, other wise the 72.

I thought '78 had round lights and '79 had square lights- please enlighten me!
I like the '79 with square lights but my fave is the '77 - since that was my first Ford PU.
My fave body style is the 73-79.
