U15 Wagon
April of '71
Engine- G- 302
Tranny- C- 3- speed Manuel
Michigan Truck Plant
92" Wheel Base

U152 Heavy Duty Package/ Springs 4700Lb
9U- Parchment interior
A5 - 3300Lb rear axle w/4.11 with limited slip gears

Thats what I come up with. Not sure what the #1 is after the Axle code of A5. Are you sure its not a "J" which would be limited slip front axle in '71?

My bronco is missing the glove box tag.
The VIN sticker in the door jam has the Body | Color |Trim | Trans. | Axle |
as all blank.
Is there any other place to find this information?

Marti Report

 

[runguyrun]

I finally got my Marti report today.
My Bronco is Red and not a Sport (no window chrome, no Sport emblem on fender).
The Marti report says it is Raven Black and is a Sport model. It also says it was first sold in New Jersey but the seller said he thought it came from Arizona (maybe not the most reliable source).
What are the chances this Marti report is wrong? I don't see any evidence of black paint on this thing.
I need to try to find the VIN on the frame and see if that matches.

 

[okie4570]

Find the VIN on the frame as you stated and go from there. Viperwolf did find an error on the seat code on my Marti. As far as the chrome, emblems and the colors that could have changed many times over the years. Mine was originally Mallard green, although it's white now, I can see some places where at one time it was red. Was replacing a headlight switch and was looking as far up under the dash as possible with a light, sure enough, there is still some Mallard green up there.
