1967 Decoding Help

Post by rt9 »

I want to see if I can finally figure out "where and what " I have.
The Photo is of the original warranty cards and I'm not sure about that little aluminum plate. Plastic plate is a buck tag I believe.

U15 = Wagon Long Roof
N = 289
L = Michigan Truck Assembly Plant
A15383 = September 1966 build (August A0 - A13,999 September A14,000 - A27,999)
M = Exterior Paint Code White A-1619 (Wimbledon?)
51 = District Code Denver

078 = ?
U152 = ? (U152 is heavy duty GVWR)
98 = ? (Long roof Wagon Top)
A52 = Locking 4.11:1 Locking Front
C = ? (Manual transmission 3 Speed)
51463 = ? (51463 is special order in 51 DSO area (Denver). 463rd order in that DSO that year.)
03-18-67 = assume purchase date
1A = ?
111 = ?

If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it.

Rick

U152 is heavy duty GVWR.

98 is wagon top.

C is 3 speed manual trans.

51463 is special order in 51 DSO area (Denver). 463rd order in that DSO that year.

Don't know the others but there is a thread on CB that may help. https://classicbroncos.com/forums/showt ... p?t=152983

Thanks Phil - that's a great thread.

The buck tag has
MIR = Mirror
HTR = Heater
BSDP = seems there is debate as to if this is "Bucket Seat Driver / Passanger", "Bucket SeatS Dash Pad", or "Bench Seat Dash Pad"
LGROOF = Long Roof
M = Wimbledon White

This is the interior trim code on the VIN/warranty tag on the kick panel for 66's, not sure if it still applied to 67s

This applies to 66 and 67. Trim and body code is combined. For example, 798. 7 indicates the trim, left and right front buckets. 98 is the wagon body code (96 is roadster, 97 is halfcab).

1 is front bench seat.
6 is left bucket only.
7 is both front buckets.
9 is both front buckets and rear seat.

Thanks Phil & Gunni - I think you are correct.
The VIN plate shows 998 - so my guess is this was originally both buckets (but no rear seat, no holes for it and a bulkhead).

My shop manual shows "9" as
parchment vinyl (driver & Passenger bucket seats)

So this kind of conflicts with the warranty tag/buck tag on my/Kirk's 66 (Gunni).

Gunni's warranty tag is 798 body code. The buck tag has 'BSDP RS', that I was assuming meant 'Bucket Seat Driver Passenger Rear Seat'. The truck also has the holes for a rear seat.

Could '7'= front buckets and rear seat, while '9'=front buckets?

Am I reading RT's post correctly? No 'RS' on buck tag. No holes for a rear seat or bulkhead & '9' body code?

It is possible. Everything I know about it is from what I've read.
