BELOW THE LINE, SEE LAST SENTENCE.***

she ran it and it came back that it's suppose to have 17 digits? NOT TILL 1981.

NO 17 digit VIN's till 1981 on F Series trucks, Bronco's or Econolines!!! (cars have 17 digit VIN's beginning in 1980)

1966/80 Bronco's have 11 digit VIN's not 15. You're reading the VIN on the CERTIFICATION LABEL WRONG = look BELOW THE LINE...NOT ABOVE!!

No Bronco EVER had a 15 digit VIN.

Sample 1979 Bronco VIN as listed in the parts catalog: U15GLDC0001

1979 BRONCO SERIAL NUMBER RANGE (LAST 6 DIGITS): DC0,001 THRU FK9,999.

Look on your registration, the VIN is there. It's also on the Warranty Plate which the parts catalog sez is located on the inside of the glove box door.

> > VIN on Certification Label on the door jamb = Look ABOVE the line for the VIN, not below the line.

*** BELOW the line are the codes for the BODY-COLOR-TRIM-AXLE-DSO
