PA Stock 1976 Explorer, Blue Seats

[MThalfcab]

The “74 Explorers had either blue (or red) plaid cloth inserts. The ‘76 Explorers had all vinyl seats in blue or tan. The posting shows as “sold”.

LUBr LuvR, we're these seats picked up? Sorry seen your thread!!

Are you guys sure there are no 75 explorers?. I picked my first bronco three years ago and it's a 75. Has the explorer tag on the glove box. Chrome trim, midnight metallic blue paint.
The seats have been replaced among other mods.

Yes, that is correct. No Explorers packages were built in '75 or '77. Sport Explorers were started in '72 and they are the only ones that had the bright trim around the windows and stainless vent window frames. The other Explorers didn't have the bright trim. The Explorer dash plaque is an easy add on, so it's possibly been added by a PO. Also, check the build date to see if it is indeed a '75. Any Bronco could be ordered with belt line trim, if that is what you are calling "chrome trim", but the belt line was not standard with any decor group.

I have a 74 Explorer, Wind Blue, S4 interior, but the original owner ordered on the Explorer package? So what is in these packages and I’m figuring that even though it is order brand new through Ford, it makes them original?

I'm not quite sure what you are asking....

If is about the beltline trim, many Explorers had it but, it is listed in the options section on the Marti Report.
