Part of 1978-1979 Ford Bronco Brochures & Literature
This page is from a 1979 Ford F-Series dealer reference/brochure (marked "Revised 2/79, F-Series 9") covering Color and Trim Selections, specifically Tu-Tone paint options. It describes four two-tone schemes with truck illustrations: Regular Tu-Tone (accent color on roof, drip rail, and upper cab back panel), Deluxe Tu-Tone (available on F-100 through F-350 4x2 and 4x4 Styleside pickups, accent on stone shield and bodyside areas, with trim differences for Custom, Ranger, and Ranger XLT cabs), Combination Tu-Tone (Styleside only, combining Regular and Deluxe applications), and the new-for-1979 Accent Tu-Tone (133" wheelbase Regular Cab Stylesides only, in Pastel Sand, Candyapple Red, Bright Dark Blue Metallic, or White with Tangerine borders). It also explains Tailgate Letters (white F-O-R-D letters on all colors except white bodies, which get red letters), Wheel Colors (black wheels with full wheel covers, white otherwise), the Dual Tape/Paint Stripe availability and restrictions, and the new Chromatic Tape Stripe for Regular Cab 117" and 133" wheelbase Stylesides requiring the Ranger trim package. Readers can learn exactly which two-tone paint and stripe options were offered on 1979 Ford pickups and their compatibility restrictions with trim packages like Ranger Lariat and Free Wheeling.
