73-79 parts fit. The way I got rid of the emission crap on dad's truck was the easy way. Dad has a 79 150 w/ a 351m and the donor we bought was a 77 150 w/ a 351m. That truck didn't have all that crap so I just switched over to dad's. If I didn't have the donor I would have just had to figure it out. He had a fire on the motor so I had a mess anyway. Hopefully you don't need that emmissions stuff where you live?? Hell of a dad to fix up a good truck like that for your son!!
