This is incorrect.
1978 Rectangle Headlamps were an option.
1978 Customs had Round headlamps standard
1978 Ranger trim and higher had Rectangular headlamps standard.
1979 Rectangle headlamps were standard throughout the trim levels.
.........
A Geometry lesson, for people who actually care
.
A Rectangle by definition is a shape with four sides at 90 degree angles.
A Rectangle with four equal sides at 90 degree angles is called Square.
Since two sides of the headlamps are longer than the other two, it cannot be called square.
