1979 F-150??

Does anyone know what the difference between a 79 custom and a 79 ranger is? I have been looking for a ranger but have yet to find a nice one but I came accross a good custom.

It's just the trim level. The trucks are the same.

Well depending on the trim level of the Ranger (regular or XLT, etc) its going to have more chrome trim on the outside of the truck around the taillights and fender wells, and I think on the drip strip above the door. I think the interior has carpet and there might possibly be some wood grain on the interior.
