    Great job on both the tank and intake/carb swap. Definitely don't forget your pet spider. The shop looks great. And yes, most people don't know the fact that rectangular headlights were an option in 78 on the ranger and lariat models. As were the round headlights were an option in 79 but on the custom models. Had a friend that i bought my 77 from who worked at a ford dealer when these trucks were new and shared that info with me. Hope its helpful. Keep up the good work and look forward to more updates on booger. 😁

    I also have a green 78 with round head lights but mine is a custom and as you said you had to get a up grade or a package to get the square head lights.I bough my truck new and I also had to get a gas tank. It's in the garage now under a cover. Just watched you unwrap that 4 barrel, I got a 300 six with a one barrel.Welcome to the Ford family.

    My dad had the same truck when I was a kid. His was a standard though. Would love to have one like that! I learned how to start that truck by popping the clutch when it died. Love watching you and Kevin revive old cars. I’ve learned a lot...wish they were that simple to work on nowadays! They are all computerized!
