This is page 5 of a Ford dealer literature/brochure page titled "F-SERIES 4WD: MODEL AVAILABILITY," revised 2/79, covering the 1979 Ford F-Series four-wheel-drive truck lineup. It lists model availability in tables organized by body style (Styleside Pickups, Flareside Pickups, and Chassis-Cab) and cab configuration (Regular Cab, SuperCab, Crew Cab). Each table gives the series (F-150, F-250, F-350), available wheelbases in inches, and factory model codes. Styleside and Flareside regular cabs offer F-150 at 117 or 133 in. (codes F140/F141), F-250 at 133 in. (F263), and F-350 at 133 in. (F360). SuperCab pickups use a 155 in. wheelbase (X143, X260, X361), and the F-250 Crew Cab pickup has a 150 in. wheelbase (F263). Chassis-Cab versions carry parallel codes: F160/F161, F283, F380 (regular cab), X163, X280, X381 (SuperCab), and F283 (F-250 Crew Cab, 150 in.). Triangle symbols mark the F-350 4WD models as "New for 1979." Three black-and-white photos illustrate a Styleside regular cab, a Crew Cab, and a Flareside pickup. Readers can identify wheelbase dimensions and model codes for any 1979 Ford 4x4 F-Series truck configuration.
