Check out the offroad forum if you are interested.

 

wow thanks, i sure am since that is what i plan to do with my 250

 

BG4

B= Blue
G = Seat = National cushionaire with passenger seat
4 - styleside

I tried to teach you to fish.

Thats why ....
I linked to MY decoder in post #6

 

i tried to pass on the info but like i said i am new to all of this and still learning

 

I did try to use your decoder (BG4 B= Blue G = Seat = National cushionaire with passenger seat
4 - styleside)

but that sheet seemed to denote MD-up trucks/busses. why would they put a blue seat in a green truck with green accents? isnt the cusionaire seat a air-ride HD truck seat? all the footnotes were MD/HD related.

 

ok well that does sound like a hd air ride seat maybe someone else will chime in

 

Why didn't you post the Vin# so we can see of the numbers match ?

also post the DSO code so we can see if it was a special order

 

i will have my trucks tomorrow and will have an update on that vin plate

 

ok DUH! sorry

F14YLA35233
133 W F141 BG4 A 16J
06200 1976 76


Heres what I know or suspect
9/75 built Michigan Truck sent to Denver region (DSO 76)
1976 F150 4x4 3602v/4-sp (NP 435)
133 inch WB, Medium Green Glow, 6200 GVW 4X4, 3600 LB axle 3.50 gears with Power steering.

I suspect it had cloth seat, perhaps carpet, it does appear to have the ranger package, but few if any other options. no A/C didnt have speaker harnesses, so I suspect AM radio. plain door panels brite moulding with vinyl insert, no pinstripe, single rear fuel tank, no under hood light. standard duty radiator.

when I got it it had no bed, was spraybombed to death, no seat, radio area carved out, gears badly swapped out to 4.11s, a beat to death 360 with way too big 4v edelbrock carb,and headers and broken pinion support in rear. pretty hammered. its a firewood truck. but now I have so much into it, it may be granted a pardon, and released to the street again.

so far lockers front and rear, 3.50 gears again, new 390,radiator, alternator, waterpump, new axles, brakes, steering box/pump. new drivelines, new 33x12.50 tires

I had previously only had 76s built in San Jose,and a crewcab (canada) they all had shoulder belts with retractors, this 76 is the first I have had without shoulder belts. (I have had 73-75s without them) did 4x4s not have shoudler belts, was it regional? what gives? I'm just curious.

 

Paint Code W was also Medium Ivy Bronze.

 

there is still green on teh firewall, and floor. some previous owner decided that dark blue spray paint looked better.

I dont care for green, but where its still nice, I can see the glow!

I will do a cab-off repaint whn the eventual time comes, I might consider the green, who knows? I like the dark blue of my other 76s better,or even black to match the marauder.


thanks for all the help and patience, you are a Godsend.
