Build date question

I have a 1993 Bronco. The build date on the door jamb is 6/92. Seems awful early....The title and all manuals that came with it say 1993. And it has 4 wheel ABS which I think started in '93. Did they start the model year early? Thanks.

Its pretty common 71. Building vehicles during the previous published model year is the norm.

Ok. I haven't seen one this early before. I have a couple built in October, November, etc....Especially since this wasn't a re-design year like the '97's that came out in Jan '96. Just seemed odd.....

Give me the two before the A. The 10th digit of all vehicles built since 1981 will tell you what year it is.
