The truck does look to be a freewheeler. The wheels were optional on all trimlines so you can't tell be just the wheels. The pinstripe is definately a freewheelin' style, however as you say the PO had them done.

The only way to really know is to contact Ford for a Build Sheet for your truck.

The 77 f150

I have had no interest at all,odd, as I know I could sell my 79 bronco at the drop of a hat. But,it meens too much to me at this point. I put up my 1970 Mercury Marauder for sale,a few low bids, was looking for $2800.00 Its a rare car,no rust............this economy..............

Old thread but since someone reseurrected it I'll reply to this post, my truck had the same roof DKW, the build sheet calls it "special paint, textured black", it was an option.

The interior on them was interesting too as it was silver, black with bright highlights.
