I have been getting some pics sent to me on a 76 Bronco I’m looking at purchasing. I plan to fly out first to see it in person but trying to figure out if this is normal floor boards From factory. It’s not the dark green body color like I had figured Like the body color. Seller is a straight shooter and have talked to him multiple times So doubt he is trying hide anything. Does this look factory color wise?

Looks to me like they have just been treated with a rust converter on top.
The bottom side looks a bit suspect only because I thought all broncos got the reddish primer underneath and were not body color?

They look factory to me. I have a 76 and the underside is painted body color. Those pans look to be in good condition.
Good luck with your purchase.

Thank you. This bronco looks like very little rust if any at all

Mine’s a ‘77 and both top and bottom of the floor pans are the color of vehicle…or at least they were before I cut them out. I am with @bigmuddy on the rust encapsulater painted tops.
