You’re the first thread I’ve seen that had what is said to be an explorer package but a Ranger logo on glovebox door. Mine is a 73 wind blue bronco. It was painted over but under it was wind blue and the ranger badge is on the glovebox and appears to have been there since new. I don’t think it...

Do you have any more photos of the blue plaid fabric in the first photo you found under the seat cover ? I’m to locate that fabric but have not been able to.

Both numbers from the frame, the vin on the driver side door pillar sticker and the glovebox data tag all match. The glovebox door is wind blue under the paint they painted the whole truck over with just like the rest of the truck and appears to be original. The glovebox data tag rivets appear...

I have a wind blue 1973 Ford Bronco that I bought from the 2nd owners son. Marti says explorer package. He says it was original to the way they bought it except it was painted/bondo over after a while. It has ranger on glovebox door, painted dash (which I think explorers also had), upon...

It appears with the P’s and Q’s but 72 and 73 Ford Broncos in general that Ford was all over the place with things without much order as to why or how it was typically done.

That’s crazy how some of this stuff is kinda all over the place. Mine says It had two bench seats.

Thanks for the info. There’s been some stuff on here that some 72-73 ranger package broncos had I4 trim code as well

I know some 72-73 ranger package broncos had I4 body code and I have also seen some data tags and Marti reports of some 73 rangers with B4 body code. My 1973 bronco is either a I4 or 14 body code. Some of the 72-73 broncos with the I4 trim code were in fact rangers from post I’ve seen on here...

I’ve never seen a 73 with a bench front and rear seat but I’ve seen several Marti reports now which list this.

Would anyone happen to know the trim code for explorer and ranger packages for 1973 ? I’ve got a 73 that I bought from the 2nd owners son. He says it was the way they bought it except it was painted after a while. Has ranger on glovebox door, painted dash, upon stripping mostly bondo with paint...

How can you determine this from trim code Would you happen to know the trim code for explorer and ranger packages for 1973 ?

How can you determine this from trim code ?

Thank you all for the info I appreciate it. What was the biggest difference in the U150, U151 and U152 ? Ive seen these have to do with gvwr like the U152 means it was 4900 lb gvwr I’ve not had anyone explain what Ford did different between these 3 to differentiate between them other than...

Thank you very much. It has extra trim on the body sides not on all models so wasn’t sure if it was an explorer package or something. The J is power steering is that correct ? The 76 and 77 were 31 spline is that correct ? Based on the information given a 76 should be disc brake front end ?

Do you have more photos of the green ranger or the blue ranger ? Info on these two and are frames good ?
