Because someone swapped the grille to the 78-79 style. A lot of people like that style better.

Im not sure why it has a 78-79 grill on it. Im 17 and have two 65 chevy trucks, yah I know I shouldnt have said that but there in pretty good shape to. I love the look of the 73-79 fords though! Cant wait to drive this thing around. Tranny is giving me problems and master cylinder is a little sticky but I'll probably have it on the road in a few weeks.

love your truck man...nice find. I wouldn't change a thing on it. I updated my 77 to a 79 grill/headlights..etc too...I think it looks tougher then the split grill inserts

so if anybody is looking for a pretty clean 77 grill/shell/headlights, feel free to pm and we can work something out
