Build Sheets

[Blade]

What kind of info? They probably needed your mailing address and phone number to confirm it was actually you.

Well then it's not epic failure...you just need to wait. How long have you been waiting? They told me initially, it would take 6-8 weeks. I ended up getting the Bronco's in 3 weeks. And they said from the time I sent in the request for Red the second time, that it'll be sent out in a week.

i just shot it to them today........ i had forgot all about it...... so i dont know yet...

Well if I can swap in a 75 supercab bench into the 85 then why not into a bronco.

Honestly,everything on that build sheet is easily enough decoded by yourself.I know everything my truck came with from factory,and probably more than they could ever tell me themselves.

As for bench seats in Broncos,i'd imagine they'd only be in very base model trucks,and maybe if it was special ordered.Protection group is basically door edge guards and front bumper guards.Oh and the mirrors on Red are recreational mirrors,which would never be offered on Broncos.Most of the trucks that got those were Camper and Trailer Specials,but i'm sure they could be had on any F250-F350.

Camper specials got the camper special mirrors like I have but with smaller mirror heads.

I understand the swap isn't difficult...didn't know if Broncos had benches from the factory.

I know it's easily enough decoded, you're not talking to a rookie here...and I thought you said Bill decoded yours for you? Anyway, it's a helluva lot more difficult when you don't have the warranty plate...actually, you can't tell any of the options on these vehicles if you only have a VIN. And that's all the Bronco had, was the VIN. And like I said, these sheets are just a little something extra to put in the scrap book.

And yeah...I just checked the dimensions of my mirrors, they're right. And I have to ask again, where exactly are you getting your information from again, because to me it sounds like you're making gross assumptions on hearsay rather than actual fact.

I forgot you didn't have the warranty plate on your Bronco.

I'm pulling my information from the 73-79 brochures,and from what i've read and seen in person.

Gotcha...just didn't seem like you were too confident in your answers. Mind showing the info where it mentions bench seats in a bronco, or what mirrors were available on what rigs. What brochures do you have? And what use are they to you, you said you've never owned a dent. I'd like to see them, who knows...maybe one day you'll pass Dennis as the lit king.

I don't want to be too confident in my answers,just in case i'm wrong.The bench seat answer I gave was a guess,which is why I clearly stated "i'd imagine".I don't have the brochures for dents since I don't own one,but anybody can view them on this site.http://www.lov2xlr8.no/ford.html

I would never compare my knowledge to that of you or Dennis or any of the other older members,as I've never owned anything except my F100 and the Ranger.However,I do alot of reading,and most of it tends to be on the older Fords.I learned alot about these trucks from my dad,whose had his share of dents,but his information isn't necessarily correct.This forum is for information and learning,and sometimes the information you have isn't necessarily correct,which is when others jump in to correct you when you're wrong,so you have the right information.

Yea,I wish it had all the years of trucks in it.Thanks.

Well yeah...not only that, but there are brochures missing within the years, even for specific vehicles. But still a good resource in a pinch.

Yes it is.I still made sure I got a hard copy of the 1980 Ford Pickups brochure so I could have all the pages.lol.

 

[LEB Ben]

Yeah...JBG has a pretty good source of diagrams and brochures too.

Yea they do.I keep forgetting about them.I have a catalog from them somewhere,I need to track it down.

I never knew Ford offered a generator for my truck.

Here is a link to the 1978 brochure, and front bench seats were an option.

And here is the 1979 brochure
www.projectbronco.com/Literature/79_bro/page1.htm

The mirrors were the standard feature, there was an option for "Recreation swing-out mirrors" like on Red.

So I'm not crazy.. and it probably did have a bench seat!

I was hoping I wasn't completely wrong (Remember.. he sold it in '02, and I didn't ride in it much, so I don't remember alot about it.)

Nah,you're still crazy.
