I thank you. helps a lot. but not exact to explorer pkg? thx, dave
heres a pic of my 72 explorer

 

Short of possibly getting a Marti Report, I don't know if there's any specific breakdown on the production figures on this model.

A Marti Report would give you a bunch of information specific to the truck and may give a breakdown of production figures on that model/series.

 

that's what I thought. i know its a mid 72 offer. cant be many? I thank you for the reply. coyotedave.

 

The optional Explorer Special package was available on the Bumpsides from 1968-1972.

I can't say I've ever seen production figures broken out by wheelbase, so Marti Report is probably your best shot.

 

Awesome! Thank you! This explained a lot. **** truck is a 69 Ranger/explorer. My 69 is but a Ranger. The differences make MUCH more sense now.

 

looks like I have explorer special pkgD. yes!
