Impossible to tell. Got a VIN? The grill says it's an early/mid 70's, but the Power Ram badge and body side mouldings say it's an early/mid 80's.

the trucks got 140,000 miles, runs very good but she burns a little bit of oil, 1 qrt a week. Its an 86 but the front end is from a 77. I did some drilling to get the grill and the lights in. Im painting it black this next week. Im also getting 15x12 Mickey Thompson rims with 33x12.50 tires. Ill put up pics after im done painting the truck.

I agree that the one peice grill with the circle lights looks the best. Its pretty easy, I found a grill, took off the old grill, take out the square lights and go some power wagon adjusters and you need to do some drilling to get the circle lights in there straight, in that pic they are not straight but they are now. All the screws under the hood on the top part of grill lined up, but the screws every where else didnt, I drill some holes in the fender to hold it on, overall is wasnt that hard, 4 drilled holes in all to hold the grill on.

looks just like yours maui, except its an 88 with 250,000 miles ditched the 318 at 248,000 for the 440, this picture if on a tuesday night test and tune at gateway international raceway,

truck went 16.1 @82 with a 2.27 60

it should run better but the 440 is a 78 catsing with 8.2 compression and stock cam, SOON- lunati cam, aluminum heads, and 3.90 gears
