I just picked up a 75 bronco for a customer and need to decode the vin. I figured I would post here instead of searching all night online for the info. It needs alot of work, I will start a build thread in the next few weeks when we start tearing it apart.

any info is appreciated

 

1975 Wagon assembled in Michigan
302ci, C4 Automatic, 3:50 gears, open diff.
Power Steering

 

Thanks, can you tell the original paint from that info. It's about 5 colors now and looks to have been painted several times on top of that.

 

Best I can do right now. My usual links are down.

 

Broncohio may have a page w/all the info (ferget if it's ".org" or what). lemmie No how U MAKE OUT. I will look up if needed.
Interested 2 C what he wants/U do. Let us know what U need if anything....
AND we love pic!

 

Build month was August 74 and while "W" was not a 75 color code, 74 lists it as LtGinger Metallic. http://www.broncohio.com/tech/ebvins.html

 

thanks for the info guys.

here are a couple pictures, he wants to get remove the body lift and put a 33 tire on it and the rest is going to appear as stock. He had one in high school and decided to buy anther and make it nice. It will probable never see dirt again.

 

Thanks 4 the pic! Will take a look in a sec.
No off rd (& may B no weight carried?) an uncut Looks Nice (2 some). May B suggest he look @ BFG TO/KO - comes in a 33/9.50 that would B good on gas, great for rd or dirt rds (even some wheelin, I mean why have 4WD?), look good AND fit in an uncut rear...


now to the pic. we love pic!!!
EDIT: OK had a look - is that 6 window frames or doors? Nice option - the frames R removable...when top is off, windshield down - U can pull them (3 bolts @ striker, 2 @ hinge ends - his yr, if it is, ford just welded thru the bolt holes) for a smooth look or nothing taller than the steering wheel! Mine's a wrk truck n needs to get under some pretty low stuff (no high back seat 4 me!).

 

Only 66-68 had removeable door frames. And all Broncos have fold down windshields. The 66-68's had *****, where the 69 and newer used bolts to secure the windshield.

that is 6 doors with frames, all are rusted out bent and not really worth a crap but they came with the truck, and we may cut them apart to make one set of doors.

 

"...Only 66-68 had removeable door frames..."

Again, if the customer goes for this major rebuild (& from what U say bout the doors & what I C in the pic) U can make the removable frames. I've done it - got 5 doors & 2 of em had frames good enuff 4 the mod. Just drill out the 5 spot welds on each. When U take off the panels just look inside to find the long channels for the glass. Look for the lill legs that angle 90* off. Look @ the 'dimples' where spot welded in striker and hinge's 2 'edges'...
Not too hard for a fabricator like I assume U 2 B (or U Rcrawler).

 

I've modified a few non removeable frame doors. They don't turn out as nice as what the factory built. This is why the 68 doors are so sought after.

I misunderstood what you were trying to say in your post. Just wanted to clarify that not all frames are removeable, or at least meant to be.

Hey Jason -

ja C the after mrkt ones U can retrofit any door with?
Expensive! $260 duz 2 doors but U don't hafta go thru what this po boy did!

BTW: do U know if the 2WD e-brake offa the ZF will fit the 4WD? Thanx!

"...Honey badger..."
my niece (25 y/o) just sent some pic of that fella from Left Coast. Cute, but look out for those teeth (n claws I assume)!
