That is strange, this is where I got my info from.

The 1972 Salesman facts organizer.

That’s odd..... I wonder if there were two sizes of day/night mirrors? The convenience group always specifically states “10 inch day/night mirror”.

I'll have to check with my friend, but am 99% sure that his old '72 U15 Explorer Sport did not have the map light, or a horn ring.
In fact I know it didn't come with a map light because we went to a lot of trouble to mount an RV-sized fluorescent light under the dash pad!
Actually it worked amazing. You could hardly see the housing in it's place unless you leaned down and looked for it, and the light output was terrific!
I'll still check with him though. Maybe he took it out and I just don't remember.
Could it be an Explorer thing that changed the options to leave out the horn ring and map light?

Neither of my buddies '72 Explorer Sports had map lights in fact. I got all too intimately familiar with the under-dash areas of both unfortunately!%)



I always thought it was standard, but you could do a "molding delete" if you wanted. Just like stripe delete on Rangers and later Explorers.
So it worked in the reverse then? Like ordering a radio or a passenger seat?

Thanks

Paul

I don't see the Map Light listed, but the body side molding and horn ring are listed as standard equipment.

Several threads about it, but I don't have a quick link so will just explain some of the basics.
You can add some using your "garage" and "gallery" features, you can upload them to another image hosting site like SuperMotors, or you can pay 12 bucks a year to become a contributor here and then have the freedom of unlimited uploading to the site directly from your device.

They all work well, but if you can justify the 12 bucks, being a contributor is easiest and supports this site.

Here's a '71 wagon. Most of my Broncos have been Retail or Stock order Broncos - meaning specifically ordered by a dealer or individual. Finally landed a "Basic" order Bronco selected and built by Ford because they had nothing else to do at the time. LOL Marti says it more eloquently (sorta) " Ford has excess capacity on an assembly line and produces vehicles to keep the plant busy" Hey, a Mallard Green Sport with posi and whitewalls is pretty darn cool for a "whatever" build. Interesting to note is that it does not have the beltline trim - I've seen this deleted but usually it's noted, or maybe thats just on the original window sticker(non repro). Marti probably can't decode that deep I'd guess.

That's a cool looking Bronco, Andrew! I think all I would plan on doing to it is, install a rear axle and maybe new tires! The front tire looks a little weak!;D;D

On the belt line trim: I once thought that all Sport Broncos had the belt line trim as part of the package. The trim was optional even with the Sport and the Ranger packages. Wheel covers and viny spare tire covers were part of the Sport and Ranger packages along with all the bright trim on the grille and around the windows. The tailgate handle was also chrome instead of cad. or zinc. It does seem like most Sport Broncos did have the beltline trim. They look really clean without it though....just like your Mallard green '71.

 

[BajaBronco]

Aha, thats why it's listed separately on some Marti Reports huh. Hmmm. Cool. As my grandpa would say "If you're not careful, you'll learn something every day."

Yeah, gonna need some traction tires and the 9" BB rear with 4.11 is probably on someones trail rig. Motor too. But yes, Its going to stay as original as possible....surprised it has survived as it is for so long.

 

[fordfan]

This little '72 U14 Sport was a one owner and it came with the beltline trim, but it doesn't seem to be identified on the Marti.

Being a one owner Bronco doesn't mean it's a cream-puff though.

My Mallard Green 71 was sitting down the street at a different dealer at the same time as yours! Yours says produced 12 days behind schedule, which going business days would have been the same day as mine lol, December 21st. You can see my Marti has a few mistakes on it such as the seat description and Colfax runs east and west, mine says S Colfax. Not sure how or why that other Marti is in there lol, look at the second one.

 

[fordfan]

Marti does have access to the info if it was recorded by Ford, because some examples show the beltline option on the report.

 

[BajaBronco]

yeah, thats interesting. I have some that list Body Side mOlding and others that dont - I just checked....
