I was looking at my Marti report and it shows that my scheduled build date was 8/6/76 but was actually built 8/4/76, 2 days ahead of schedule. Anyone else's Bronco make it out of the factory before their scheduled date?

The actual build dates get moved around of the vehicle was ordered for customer use or dealer inventory.

A Wednesday. Lucky. The alcohol from the previous weekend wore off and it's hump day which means the drinking for the next weekend started that night.

August '73 must have been a rough month. Mine was built 8/22/73, 33 days behind schedule. Unsure what the model year cutoff was, but it turned mine into a 1974.

In the slow lane too - ordered 4/15/74, scheduled 5/14/74 and built 7/03/74.
50 days behind schedule, and the day before a holiday....better check over a few things!

they ran out of Dana 44s in sep 1970 ... got a GLK214xx vin = oct 1970 yet was done Sep 23 1970 w. dana 30 !
( what they did was, they pushed all EBs orders w. dana 44 to the side )
that's why sep 1970 w. vin u15glk1xxxx and orig. dana 44 are tricky .... most didn't get finished until 2 week of oct. 1970
