I'm not finding some of the numbers that appear on my VIN tag on any of the VIN decoder sites. My Bronco is a '76,

Can't find: Type U151, Body TU, Axle 18J

Might be I'm just not smart enough to read the decoders for the 1976 year model. Lol.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TU body code..... I can't remember lol, I saw this one for the first time the other day and I didn't jot it down in my notes.

18j is 2900lb axles, 3.50 gears with power steering

It is an Explorer. The seats have been recovered sooooo not sure if the originals were tan. Good Intel though, thank you.


Explorer seats would have been tan or blue in ‘76. “U” is the code for Tan and “B” is the code for Blue. The “T” appears to be the code for Explorer trim in “76.

A Marti report would give you all the details....
