vin off of title.......F35JCDE0852 Title says 1979


thanks for the help, paul the glove box door says ranger xlt
what options would come wiyh this package?

 

F35 means F-350, j=460, C=Ontario Plant, DEO852 is the serial number, serial numbers from DCO,OO1 to FK9,000 ARE 1979 models. I've never had a ranger xlt but I would guess it would have A/C, carpet, probally a better radio, i've always had the plain jain Custom models. Hope this helps.

thanks for the info...

 

Specifically F35 designates a 2wd model regular cab F-350.

Here are some of the options that came on these trucks. This particular information I put together for a 78-79 Bronco but it is for the most part the same as the F-series. Some of these things are diretly related to a Bronco but I'm sure you can figure that out.


Custom:
Pretty much your stripped down version although it could have been ordered with just about any individual option you wanted to put on it. A Custom model included: low back bucket seats, vinyl floormat for the front only, 25 gallon gas tank, manual steering, 4 speed trans with the 351 motor and the 205 case.
Exterior features were:
hub caps, black painted bumpers and the stainless mirrors.

Ranger:
Not offered on the Bronco, only available in the F-series lineup. Those upgrades were:
The bench seat had a chain mail vinyl seat upholstery, it also included a color matching vinyl floormat, sunvisors, seat back covers in the regular cab model and white headliner with chrome trim.

Ranger XLT:
The front seat used a combination of cloth and vinyl, insulated woodgrain door panels, carpeted flooring, woodgrain around instrument cluster, passenger dash and the glove box, woodtone on the steering wheel horn button, chrome trim around taillights and halogen headlights. The XLT also got the body side trim.

Exterior:
Chrome bumpers, chrome molding around the windshield and side windows in the top, chrome molding around the drip rail by door, chrome wheel well lip molding, rear T-gate chrome pieces, and the body side trim.

Lariat:
Not offered on the Bronco, only available in the F-series lineup. Those upgrades were:
Full cloth seat trimmed in super soft vinyl, door trim panels that included padded inserts, map pockets on the lower door, button quilted padded headliner and extra insulation.
