'75 Explorer Package Colors

I made the above post in another thread; the "SOUND OFF" that Hio originally posted. It got me thinking about what were the color options for the 1975 year. I saw a Fordification link about the interior colors:



I know that we have the Raven Black with the yellow stripe for the exterior. But the interior colors; Coral, Gold and Tan were the choices but they all show "Kirsten" which ours didn't have that. It was just a vinyl seat.

I have seen in some of the other Ford literature on that website that "Vineyard Gold" was an option for NON-Explorer trucks but I think that was an exterior color. Then on the interior section it says there's a color called "Ginger" but I don't think that would be it either since that's also for non-Explorer trucks.

The other part of the colors in the pics above name a color called "Coronado Gold", I thought it could be that. So I guess our interior is just "Gold" or am I missing something? Thanks for any guidance.

Post the "BODY" code from the warranty plate and I can tell you what the interior color was.

Nice! Okay, I'll have to get it later. Is this easily found information once you have the code? I don't know why I have so much trouble finding the color.

If you have the Ford parts catalogs it is.
The catalog has two sections that list all the exterior color codes and the interior trim and color codes.

The second line of the warranty plate is: 133 A F101 U4 C 17
I could find all of the codes on Fordification except the body code.

For 1975 "U" is Gold vinyl and gold cloth, the "4" means styleside pickup bed.

Thanks Mike, that's more simple than I thought it would be. According to the "Explorer Interior Special Trims" it said Gold Kirsten. Do you think that the Kirsten refers to the cloth part or something else?
