Arrested development question.

I have been watching this T.V. show called "Arrested Development". The first couple of episodes they drive a 1979 ford stair truck for airplanes. The interior shots show a white interior with the over the shoulder seatbelts. Around the middle of the first season, the stair truck is an 80 to 86 ford with a black interior.

In the beginning of the second season, the stair truck is a 67 to 72 with a 79 grille shell and grill. The bumper is also the 67 to 77 style. All the interior shots are of the 67 to 72 vintage.

Has anyone seen a 79 grille on the older bumpsides before? It uses all of the bumpside sheetmetal, including the hood. I have looked for pictures of this truck on the web, but can only find one.

I took these from my television.

I notice that they have a 79 fender marker on the truck also. I forgot to mention that the other two trucks had sunroofs and that this one does not. The dent is in the grille shell right above the bump on the fender.
