    SR5 would have come with extras like PW, PL, tilt steering, rpm gauge. If all that fails check vin #

    Check the VIN #. It will confirm the model, trim, paint, etc.

    Well, an early 1979 (build date starting 08/78) will not have a 17 digit VIN#. It will be a model# followed by the sequential production# (i.e. RN34 0000001). For the '79 SR5, you will find a 3-spoke urethane padded steering wheel, bucket seats, and a Tach in the middle of the instrument cluster and the others just like Red1979SR5 stated above..
