Hope someone can give you a better answer, but folks have decorated their vehicles with different items for many years now. You may have one of those.

My '72 F250 4x2 has the wood 4" high side moldings. I beleve it was the stardard XLT side trim of the time. I think only the "sport" had the skinny w/black side molding. Not sure of the 4" high black side molding.

All I do know is it is expensive to replace. About $600 from the parts mags.

Its all faded but you can see my trim in my galary.

From 70-72 they used a "XLT" emblem besides the Ranger emblem on the rear bed panels only, unless it was a F-350, which had it on the front fenders behind the wheel. It's part number D0TZ 9925622-B. If yours is anywhere but the bed, being an F-250, it was obviously added.I ran the number on the locator and if anyone wants some Brand new NOS ones, Wesley Obs., Liberty, Ky 1-606-787-5293 shows they have 2.

XLT Emblem

I own several C/S Ranger XLT's (2+'71&'72) They came with a stock color of Red, White, and Blue. But the dash insert is woodgrain but may be black and runs bout $100.
I have been very fortunate to find these trucks in excellent condition with no bondo. I might add that there are probably more than 700,000 miles driven between three trucks!! Time for some R & R
