Some will say '73,but I don't see any big change there. In '80 Ford stepped into the modern age with styling. After all,it was the 80s!!! GM did with a new front end,but it was still the same overall truck since '73. I feel GM went modern then,just more gradual since it was so much earlier. Ford kept the overall outline of the late-60s trucks (that wasn't all that different from the 61-66s) till '80. Really,ever since Ford bodies went square in '58 they made gradual transitions and kinda kept a similar shape through the years.
BTW,I always liked the 58-60s.

Great pics of the Fords Special-K, my friend has a truck like the 1 in this photo he is restoring
