We are looking for a 70's truck to place a dt466 in and we want the trucks with the running lights on top of the headlights front end. What years are these? It gets confusing. Thanks.

 

Here hang on a minute I'll help you.

 

That would be fantastic

 

'73-'75 Grille

'76-'77 Grille

'78-'79 Grille

---------------------------------------------------------
The Roof Running Lights I believe your talking about were available on F-250+ as an option.

 

Thanks a ton for the pics. I was talking about the running lights being above the drive lights like the current 08+ trucks have. It seems when you go searching for trucks people have no idea what year trucks they have because I have seen postings that have 78 and 79 trucks looking like 73-76 trucks. It just got down right frustrating. Thanks again for the help.

 

You mean like the '73-'75 Clear Lights above the Headlights?
And then the '76-'77 Lights above the headlights?

 

you can change the grilles out 73-77 are above 78-79 below there the same bodys you can put the older grille in the 78-79

 

As original:

All 1973/74 F100/350's have clear parking light lenses using amber bulbs.

1973/74's had replaceable lenses, steel parking lamp bodies. On all 1975/77's (and 1978/79's), the lens/body came as a one piece plastic assembly.

1975 F100/350's have clear parking lamps using amber bulbs.

Some 1976 F100/350's have clear parking lamps (before serial number C50,001) using amber bulbs.

Some 1976 F100/350's have amber parking lamps (from serial number C50,001) using clear bulbs, as do all 1977 F100/350's.

All 1978/79: F100/350's & Bronco's have amber parking lamps (mounted below the headlamps) using clear bulbs.

Anthony: Cab lights were offered on all trucks (as an option), not just F250's.

There were two different styles offered on 1973/79 F Series trucks: DOTZ15442A & D6TZ15442A.

 

My truck has the clear lenses with the amber bulbs, which is kinda pointless IMO.

 

That was the law as mandated by the NHTSA. Either the lenses had to be amber or the bulbs.
