What color bumpers were stock

[vtboy51]

My '68 has a chrome (ish) front bumper and a white rear, what would a '68 of come with from the factory? I'd like to have them match, just don't know which to change. Attached are pics of what if currently looks like.

 

[ford man]

It is not a sport so it must be white sport would be chrome.

Unless it was ordered with chrome bumpers, which is possible, but not probable.

 

[vtboy51]

So both front and back would of been white most likely... I do have the originally window sticker, so I'll take a look if any special orders were requested.

 

[House]

Yes, they should match either way.

You should get a Marti report on it. It has a lot of Sport features like chrome grill letters, headlight rings, tail light trim, looks like a horn ring on the steering wheel.....
Does it have vinyl door panels?

It has the metal door panels. What version of the Marti report are most people getting, Standard, Deluxe, or Elite?

I got the Deluxe report. I think most people get that one.

So a Marti report will tell you more than the window sticker?

 

[Slowleak]

Yes. In addition to the options, it will show a lot of additional information related to build date etc.

My '71 had all that stuff too. But only after I robbed it from a '72 Explorer Sport and put it on!
Be interesting to see the window sticker vtboy.

And what's the story behind your cryptic comment there 1strodeo? Some interesting backstory we should hear some night around the campfire?;D

And that's a pretty cool decal in the window too.
But I hope you're either fairly short when sitting, it's a lot more translucent than it looks, or you don't mind leaning over while driving!%)

Any Bronco owner that wants a decal in the window should measure twice, stick once. I would not be able to drive that thing for leaning over to look out the lower half of the windshield. I like the idea of the tint (and really need it sometimes) but any decals have to go down at the bottom of the glass to be able to comfortably see traffic signals or anything else above 6' off the ground.

Already have too much trouble as it is, without any decals.

I think he's referring to not being able to get one for a 66. Its a problem I have as well haha.

 

[Lawndart]

Marti is not set in stone.
Mine mentions "Orange Random Stripe Bench Seat"; please, these never existed that I know of. Mine also mentions chrome bumpers; I don't think this is correct as well.

Nothing I said was meant to be cryptic?? ...if you’re referring to the blind man comment that’s just a figure of speech I heard years ago meaning you finally understand something; I guess would be equivalent to today’s “ahaaa moment” (which happens to me a lot on here) Still a young pup in the EB world

 

[DirtDonk]

Nah, it was the "I can't get one" comment I was referring to. I didn't remember you had a '66 but 66BroncoCT cleared me up on that score.
I use the blind man thing too. We often said "I see says the blind man to the deaf horse" when the lights come on.
I was just wondering why you could not get a report. Then I "remembered" said the deaf horse!;D

lawndart - the orange random stripe interior is the orange southwestern look seats with orange vinyl trim that came in the explorer. one year only item (73? and bench may be referring to the rear seat?)- chrome bumpers have always been an option and came standard on sports and rangers

Yes, I have those seats in my Explorer - however these were never bench.
I should have quoted the full Marti description - "94 Orange Random Stripe Bench Seat and Rear Seat".
