One more to be added to the "blasted vehicles" category :)

As (almost) said above, 1973-79 model with the 1978-79 rectangular headlamps. The 3rd logo on the cowl indicates a Ranger XLT or a Ranger Lariat trim:

• The 8-stud wheel rims usually indicate either an F-250 or an F-350. But I'm not sure that the drivetrain of this truck has a lot of factory elements :D
• The 8'/2.44 m Styleside bed + 133"/3.38 m wheelbase combo was used on F-100, F-150 and F-250 (8' bed + 140"/3.56 m wheelbase for the F-350).

⇒ for me, still no usable details to say more than F-Series

Fake vin. The bed is off an older truck it appears. The molding stops at the doors when it should go all the way to the end of the bed. The truck has black windshield molding so clearly that was replaced. This is a total parts special. Literally they threw together a junker to blow it up I suppose.

The truck is truly 76 f250 with a 79 front clip, high boy axles and has 429 super cobra jet but yes the truck is many different years but they did not blow it up, they used cgi. It was originally my truck it was sold then bought back so the truck is not destroyed.
