I have these front black "spacers" on the fender that hold the light further out than what I see on everyone else's bronco it seems, and haven't seen them on vendor websites. Does anyone know if they are original or what they came off of? Also attached a couple pics of what I found underneath some overspray :D

I believe 69's had them on the non-lighted reflectors used that year. It angled them better to reflect light. They were probably painted black. Most Ive seen are grey. If it's a 77 the rear marker light should be vertical. Do they have spacers as well?

Looks like special decor stripes were on it at one time.

Thanks scoop, I am pretty sure it is a special decor because of those stripes, and I also have the slotted windshield gasket for the bright windshield trim. I also have the bright window frames. It was in a wreck at one time, so the grille, pass fender, and hood are all from a different bronco. I have metal int. door panels, it didn't have a hard top when I bought it so I'm not sure about the matching top, and ran roadster inserts at one point based off old holes in the jamb. I am not sure what other indicators there are to look for on decor models?

They look like farm store reflectors to me. Not sure where the angled brackets came from.

I will take one apart and see if it has any ID marks inside it. The rears are mounted vertical, with no spacers, just the front have them. The pass side is missing the bright trim around it though, but you can see where it was probably there at one point.

Over the years the lenses are usually replaced with whatever is available or cheapest. I have seen all kinds of replacements for the original Ford lenses including trailer lenses, side markers from other makes/models, and hardware store parts. The odd thing is those side marker lenses were always available from the Ford parts dept. and aren't expensive.
