Ride Guides: A Quick Guide to Identifying 1973-96 Ford Trucks
The Ford F-150 has been America’s top-selling pickup truck for 38 years running.
And the first 18 of those years stretched between Ford F-Series trucks spanning Ford’s sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth-generation pickups, which is the focus of our latest Ride Guide.
We already gave you the map for learning how to identify the first three generations of Ford F-series trucks in our Quick Guide to Identifying 1948-60 Ford Pickups. We also showed you how to properly identify fourth-generation (1961-66) Ford trucks.
Now, learn how to identify Ford F-Series trucks from 1973 through 1996:






The 1978 could also have square headlights depending on the option package, just like the 1979.
1987-91 are the same. 1992-96 are the same the years are incorrect.
’80-’81 was already with centered badge !!!
It should be 92-971/2 as the 97 250HD is the same style
