rare 78 sunvisor?

I got a 78 bronco and it has a lighted vanity mirror in the visor. This is the first one that I have seen, and am wondering if they put alot of these in the earlier bronco/fullsize trucks? Thanks guys.

I've owned a 77 pick-up and a 78 and 79 Bronco. Plus every member of the family has been in a ford truck since well before I was born (less than 40 years ago ). I don't remember ever seeing a lighted vanity mirror in that vintage. Might want to hold on to that one.

I have never seen lighted vanity other than on ebay, and I thought that was a special made thing.
As far as quad shocks up front, I think that was the most popular option to put on these Broncos(78,79, even though I see alot of 80-96s with quads too.)

Just go to the quick links Icon in blue near the top right part of the page and go to edit options, then edit gallery, and lets see some pics!

My uncle and I have had four 78-79 Bronco's between us. All of them quad shock.

Assuming you have digital pictures on your computer, go to your "user cp" at the top left corner of the page and create an image gallery. FTE has it's own photo hosting software, so you can upload from your desktop straight into the site.
