Production of ‘77 models began in late ‘76. Yours is a ‘77 model year Bronco which was built in November of ‘76.

Tag on the post says 11/76.

The changeover to the next model year is always in august.

Understood Viper. Just saying it has 11/76 on the door post while others are saying November. Must be within a few days I would guess

I can relate, I keep sheets of cardboard around the shop to use as wind breaks when changing the oil, etc lol.
