This one just arrived today.

1976 with Midnight Blue Metallic, Power Steering. Power Disc Brakes, C4 Automatic, Decor Group, Parchment Interior and swing Away Tire Carrier.

Interesting tape stripe with the Decor Group. Even matches the Marti Report. I have never seen this stripe before as original.

Will get 2 1/2" WH lift soon with tires/wheels to follow.

Honestly I am not sure if I will keep this one and sell the 69 Half Cab??? We'll see.

This is a factory special decor stripe. Yours should have a black grill if it is a Special Decor.

Nick - Yep, trying to save another one. I have three in the shop now. I think the 69 Half Cab will go first. I'll go over this one closely and see what I really have. Pretty solid and all original except the exhaust and carb. Only Rust on the truck is a bubble just behind the driver's door and bottom edge of tailgate on the inside. Floors are as clean as can be.

Clarrance - Marti Report says Bronco Decor Group and White Tape Stripe. I have seen the others with the white stripe across the hood and down the sides before, but not this one.

Color code is "S". Midnight Blue Metallic.

This also a one owner truck. Grand Dads Bronco that was left to his Grandson when he passed. Grandson wanted to have a newer / safer ride. His loss, my gain.

Gonna install the WH lift this weekend and then wheels and tires soon. Probably 17x8" wheels with 4.5" backspacing and 265/65/17 tires. (31x10.50s) She'll be a LUBR soon.

Awesome to see another Décor bronco. The décor groups had a large number of options and delete options plus a variety of stripe colors. The stripe should be the larger one and going across the hood. The small ones could have been a dealer added stripe. The grill could have also been changed by the dealer. Either way great looking bronco!!!!

I'm thinking like the rest of you that the current stripe is not factory. PO must not have been able to find original Decor White Stripe when truck was repainted. I will get the truck back to original look at some point.

2 1/2" WH suspension lift went on this past weekend. I ordered the lift with the Gray/Silver Springs option which turned out nice with the Dark Blue Body Color.

Wheels and tires are next. Probably go with 17s.

My blue 76 is the same color. Mine still has the original paint but it is badly faded in places. I would not doubt that is why yours has a re-paint. Really like the color.
