ok, I hope that I say this the right way..... before I get too far, they made 3 different types of woodgrain, 1975-76 was burlwood(looks like it sounds), 1977-78 was rosewood(kinda shinny looking), and 1979-80 was walnut(dull finish) If you put the rosewood and walnut side by side, the rosewood looks more glossy and has more of a red tone to it. Now, that being said, here is some more info...
another thing is that it all depended on the trim level of the truck that you ordered, unless you had a "trim override" package, which some trucks like the "californian" and the "palomino" had, or just the "override" package, otherwise they are as follows...
