HighRollersHotRods.comFor 1978, the appearance of the F-Series
changed the most since 1972, when the split grille was overhauled
in favor of a single-piece grille insert design. Much larger than
before, the grille no longer incorporated the headlights, turn
signals or the "F O R D" letters. The headlights were located in
housings beside the grille, and the park/turn signal lamps were
located below them. Additionally, a new chrome-plated letter set
reading "F O R D" could now be seen on the hood immediately above
the grille. In 1977 (1978 models), the round headlight design was
retained for the Custom trim level. A luxury "Lariat" trim was also
introduced for 1978; Ranger, Ranger XLT, and Ranger Lariat trim
levels incorporated rectangular headlights with optional chrome
headlight bezels and the chrome grille insert. Dual Fuel tanks in
the bed became standard. For 1979, round headlights were replaced
by rectangular ones on all trim levels, and the surrounding grille
insert that framed the headlights was now available in either black
or chrome to match that of the aluminum grille frame. Also new for
1978 was the option of part- or full-time four-wheel-drive on
SuperCab models. Full-time four-wheel drive utilized a chain-driven
NP203 transfer case, while part-time four-wheel drive was equipped
with a gear-driven NP205.
