I think it might be a 79 - as the square headlights came out in the later part of 78. I've had 2 of each and a 78 1/2 F150.

and the only thing left stock on the 74 is the speedo

My neighbors don't talk to me much. I'm a redneck that lives in the heart of a big city so my vehicles don't play to well with the yuppie crowd. Although it is funny to think about what goes on when I crank up one of the big hp broncos with 3" exhaust at 5:30 in the morning.
