What is the rarest option of all????

What's up guy's, seeing how I'm a collector of the rare options.

What would be the rarest?

Is there maybe one I don't know about?

Sport Steering Wheel?
Hood Lock?
Spare Tire Lock?
Passenger Vanity Mirror?
Rear Window Defrost?
Tilt Steering Column (with a manual tranny)? I've seen one.
Digital Clock AM radio?
Leather Surface Bucket Seats? (the Larit Bronco's had these)

Later guy's.

I've never heard of or seen the digital clock AM radio. Anyone have a pic of one?

I don't have a pic. yet.

My Dad ordered it so he could have a clock in the truck. It sucked growing up in a truck that only had AM. Haha.

It is pretty generic, but, I think it is pretty cool.

Some pretty rare & cool options you listed.

How about the XLT emblem on the grill?

It has been a pretty goodtime getting all of them too. Getting the Passeger Vanity Sunvisor was the best, put a HUGE smile on my face.

I would love to track down the rear window defrost setup though.

The XLT grill emblem, good one. Those are on the 77' and earlier models.

Didn't they also have them on the hood?

Well I have to say the Rarest Option is The AM/FM/CB Cassette. It even took a different Antenna. I just happen to have 2 of those antennas One is still in the Ford Cardboard Tube.

What about fog lights? I've never seen one with them.

I don't know whether this is an option or what, but I've only seen one other truck with this style of chrome trim. This is a base model Custom with no options that I can think of. The brochures say nothing about it. Does anyone know anything about it?

Do you have the remote control CB/AM/FM and do you have the adjustable map lights attached to the dome light?

I had a 73 with the same bottom trim but the upper was different. It was an Explorer I think. It had the hood emblem on it before I accidentally broke it off one day.
