Junkyard Find: 1979 Ford F-150

Writing this series has made me start paying more attention to types of vehicles I've long overlooked. Say, the early Nissan 300ZX, or the Mazda-based Mercury Capri. Then we've got the beat-up work trucks that still roam the streets in large numbers but are finally dying out, e.g. the Dodge D-100 and the late-60s GM C-series. Today, it's the turn of Ford's workhorse from the darkest days of the Malaise Era.
The F-150 has evolved very slowly over the decades. The 6th-generation F-Series truck weren't much different from those that came before and after.
These gauges should look familiar to anyone who has ever driven any American Ford product built between about 1975 and 2000.
This yard has plenty of older F-100s and F-150s, but something about this '79 grabbed my attention first.
