With an all-new truck poised to launch for the 19080 model year, updates to 1979 were minimal. All F-Series trucks and trim levels received the rectangular headlights to go with the redesigned grille from 1978. If you opted for the chrome grille, you also got bright (chrome) headlight surrounds. The Lariat trim returned, but a new factory CB radio option made the available equipment for the F-Series trucks that much sweeter.

Minor color changes in the lineup as well as in the Free Wheeling décor round out the changes for this final iteration of the sixth-generation F-Series.

Trim levels carried over unchanged from the minor shakeup in 1978 – Custom remained the entry-level truck, followed by Ranger, Ranger XLT, and top-of-the-line Ranger Lariat. Regular and SuperCab versions were available in all four model offerings, including the F-100, F-150, F-250 and F-350.
