By the way, I tried to decode this myself but google for "Bronco decoder" kept taking me to Ohio Bronco and it wouldn't open. Is there a good decoder site?

Was it a Ranger or an Explorer? I'm not familiar enough with the 74' to remember the build month off hand

092- wheel base(we all know that :) )
C- pretty sure C is Pure White in 74'
153- 4450 GVW
S4- Blue Front and rear seats
G-auto
18j- 2900lb axles 3.50 gears with power steering
04450- is the GVW
47- Cincinnati

Thanks okie4570 ! Appreciate the info. Is there a good Bronco decoder on the web? I can't seem to find one. Hate to keep bothering you guys for this stuff. %)

It's an Explorer I'm pretty sure. I think I'll go back out there this evening and look again. I may go on and buy it tonight.

I guess I should have read the entire title, about the Explorer part lol. S4 is blue Explorer trim.

Yeah, I went back there and it's a blue Explorer. But has so much rust that I passed on buying it even though it's priced cheap. I hate rust.

And another one that has the passenger side antenna too.
I know we talked about that before, discussing who's Broncos had it on the "non stock" side and there were quite a few. But not sure if any were as late as '74.
Apparently we know of one now though...;)
