U15GLO13XXX Does that mean built in Feb '77?

Also on the glovebox plate it has Type 151 / Body SV what do those mean?

I've never heard of a 151 ad its not anywhere on the Bronco Ohio link...

Thanks

U15GLO13XXX would have been built earlier, probably 8/76. U151 was medium duty GVWR, 4600 lbs in '77. SV was standard parchment interior.

Jumping in with request for info since the bronco Ohio site had extremely limited info on the 1997 models. My VIN in glove box is U15GLX84706 and has body code of RV with axle code of 18J and color of R. Any help appreciated greatly.

RV is Parchment bucket seats and no rear seat
18J is 2900lb axle with 3.50 gears and power steering
R is Light Jade

ALWAYS looking for U15GLY 05xxx = 02/77
and U15 GLK11xxx = 09/70 !

Franko, you can start with an earlier number than 05xxx if searching for a February build. Mine is 01391 with a 02/02/77 build date.

Thanks for the help! Actually didn't check for data entry: meant 1977 rather than 97. Lol. Someone must have added the rear seat cause I wound up with one in there. Ready to get a battery in and start working on it.

I know ...but I found one that is year month and day correct / matching !
so now I am only looking for once that are U15GLY059xx to U15GLY06150

Franko. Can I ask why you’re looking for that? I’ve owned U15GLY30746 and U15GLY76703

U15GLY059xx = production date of 02-16-77, it matches my wifes B-day !

and

U15GLK11xxx mine . ;D
but do to the shortages of D44s in Aug & Sep 1970s it can be tricky ... I seen and know of least 2 broncos w. vin U15GLK20xxx ( both w. dana 30s) that came of the assembly line in late sep 1970 !
yet some U15GLK12xxx didn't get finished and rolled of the assembly until first week of October 1970 !

Ok. That’s great. My wife is older than the bronco. I tease her about being older than me. She is a ‘64 vintage and I’m a ‘67 model. ( but she’s held up way better than me
