Looks like a 1979 Ford, probably an F-350 since it's a wrecker. Some 1978's had the rectangular lights, but they were higher trim levels that typically had the chrome side moldings.

That is 1978 version due to matte black headlight bezels.

No, not all 1978's had black bezels, and not al 1979's where chrome. I still say more likely a 1979 since a wrecker is likely low grade trim, like a Custom, which used round lights in 1978.

There are chance that the tow truck companies do get upper trim level version depending how good their business are :think:

True, but it doesn't have the side moldings either, which the higher trim levels had in 1978 that also had the square lights.

Caprice_96 is accurate. Sorry rjluna2. Black bezels were always standard for 1978-1979 on Custom models. 1978 Custom have circular headlamps while all 1979 trimmed models have square headlamps. The black bezels were standard on Custom/Ranger/Ranger XLT and chrome bezels were optional on the latter two trims. Only the Ranger Lariat received chrome bezels standard.

Thus making this a 1979.

Edit: only Custom have black window molding. All the other trims received chrome window molding.
