They must have had different front ends in those late 70's models. Cause I was looking at a 79' D250 with round headlights

 

i think they had 2 grille options in 79.

 

I think your right, both look good.

 

any dodge truck grille usually look go as long as they are not smashed up but my favorite would have to be the 81-85 grille.

 

I liked the 78' style grille alot

 

1978 has my vote for some reason...

Love the hood too!

 

Outside of the nostalgic craze from my father's old truck and my dad and brother's late 80's Rams, I would have to say that I agree about the 78 grilles, they are good looking.

 

I think it'll be a slick truck once your finished. Is the Snowcommander like a snow-prep package or something? does it have a badge on the body?

 

Sno Commander is just a factory dodge plow truck. i don't think they looked muck more different than a normal dodge w series truck but it had a few stickers that said Sno Commander and it might have had heavier duty springs.

 

Yeah it was just a factory plow truck setup. It's two-tone blue and white and also if memory servies has side decals running down the length of the truck and on the back end of the decal it says "Sno-Commander", I don't know what weight it is though, I think maybe a 3/4 ton...I can't remember. When I get back to the states I'll take a ton of pictures of it and post them to see what everyone thinks. It's already been a good learning experience and I'm not even home yet. The hard part is finding a frame to swap it with...I'll have a better idea once I know what weight category it's in. Though I will need to find a new plow setup, we swapped it all over to the Ramcharger.
