Mirrors look to be rounded, so 83-86. Two tone paint goes all the way up to the top body line, so 83-84.

I agree on the body lines. Not sure I agree on the mirrors. What color is the 2nd from right truck on the top row? What years was that color used?

Found the image source, shown below. Upon zooming in, the mirrors are DEFINITELY rounded, so I stand by 1983-1984.

Found another shot with Bullnose trucks, from the same Flickr page above. This time they're 85-86 based on the two tone paint not reaching the upper body line.

I was thinking that the truck that is 2nd from the right on the top row is Maroon, and that color was only used 1980 - 82. And with the emblem in the grille it had to be '82. But playing with that pic I am not sure it is Maroon. Might it be black?

I would say yes. Depending of the film manufacturer, old Color pictures tend to “yellow”, or “blue”, or have saturated reds.
Not at my desk to apply a corrective filter, but this one is definitely too red, so the black would tend to maroon.

I vote for 83-84.

Nicknamed «Big Brother 1984», due to its soooo-looong shape & nod to George Orwell's 1984 famous novel.

Definitely black to my not so young (anymore) eyes.

From what I can see, at least three of those trucks have full float rear axles, making them F250 HD's or F350's.

Looks like my eyes are way too old for this game.
