You may be right. But, that says it was ordered out of the Seattle sales office.

Sounds about right. The Bronco has a DSO Code of 71 which states Los Angeles. They told me it was bought new in Los Angeles

DSO 74 = Seattle WA Ford District Sales Office, where the original selling dealer ordered the truck from.
