How rare is a (Glen Green) Ranger package

[UNCbronco]

I am looking at a 1975 Color code U ( Glen Green ) Ranger package that a guy has for sale. Just checking with you to see if there are many out there without getting a Marti report on it. Thanks

Rarer color for sure, but have no idea on the numbers. Landshark did a Glen green ranger restore and it is a beautiful color. I think his was 76.

It's a 2 year color...'75 and '76. I had a '76. Great color. Mine was a base model. What color are the seats Avocado?

Yes, It has the Avocado seats. I have another question. What could you get for wheels from the factory on a Ranger package ? Thanks

Are you wanting to sell the wheels? All Early Broncos came with pressed steel wheels from the factory. And unless its a 66 or 77 they all had the same hubcaps. Depending on condition they can go fairly high for what they are. The most I have paid was $80 for a set with tires but no hubcaps.

I'm not a Ranger guru, weren't the wheels argent? Special Decor hub cabs were offered with that package as well.

I am just asking ? There where no Aluminum wheels offered for any early Bronco`s from the factory ? Only steel wheels for all packages ? Thanks

Only steel wheels were offered. A ‘75 Ranger would have light grey wheels. A ‘77 would have Argent silver, like the grill. The mag wheel hubcaps were an option in ‘77.

Thanks for the reply, I have some more questions ? What color name or code was the wheel light grey on the 1975 Ranger and the factory tire size ? Thanks

A Ranger would have an E78-15 or G78-15 depending on the weight rating. My ‘77 has a GVWR of 4600 and came with E78 blackwalls. The 4900lb GVWR used the G78. I use 235/75/15 tires on it and they fit nicely.

This color chart shows a gray wheel color for ‘75 pickups which may be the same. I expect there is a powder coat color which is a close match if you decide to coat them.
