Leave Bronco out of your search and just use a truck site
Like Blue Oval Trucks
I could not find a link for you but just google "1978 Ford truck door tag decoder" and that blue oval site will be one of several that pop up, and will do the same thing for you
CG----- = 1978 numerical series, July 1978 production
104 = 104 inch wheelbase
6M
6 = Bright Yellow
M = White (Two tone?)
U150 = Bronco, 6,100 lbs GVWR
DZ1 = Interior and body info, I do not have, and can't find it on line.
G = Ford automatic, most likely the C6
16A
16 = Ford 9 inch rear axle, 3,750 lbs capacity, 3.50 ratio
A = Adjustable steering column and Power steering. They don't give other info but wouldn't it be a Dana 44 with 3.54 ratio?
Loyd63,
my 78 has the many of the same features you have. A bigger engine and a little heavier axles is about the only difference i see. What trim is yours? Mine says XLT. But it has round headlights. Not sure if a PO did something to that.
Mine has DZ1 trim, and has square headlights. I was working in a body shop back in the early 80's and I reminder the round and square headlights. I personally like the round better, they put the round headlights in the early 78's and about half the year they started putting the square lights.
