1978 Ford F-Series

For 1978 the split grille gave way to a larger single piece grille that no longer incorporated the headlamps, the turn signals or the Ford callout, with the headlamps in housings outboard of the grille and the turn signals below them. A new chrome plated Ford callout was placed on the hood above the grille. Round headlamps were used on the 1978 Custom trim level, and the Ranger Lariat trim was introduced in 1978 with cloth interior trim and its own two tone body and tailgate trim.
