1977 Ford Bronco VIN Decoder

Finding the right restoration parts for your vintage '77 Bronco can be an overwhelming process. Many Bronco owners encounter the challenge of identifying the original components specific to their model year. Luckily, there is a straightforward solution: decoding the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and data plate of your 1977 Bronco.

You can use a Bronco VIN decoder to simplify the process. This tool streamlines the task of locating the necessary parts for your restoration project. Deciphering the VIN lets you discover crucial details about your '77 Bronco, such as its series, body style, transmission, axle ratio, and color. Furthermore, the VIN enables you to determine the engine code, which is essential for restoring your Bronco to its authentic condition. This information will also aid you in identifying any aftermarket components that may have been installed by previous owners.

1977 Bronco VIN Number Location

Finding the VIN on your 1977 Bronco model is easy as long as you know where to look. The best area to locate the VIN is on the frame rail, situated beneath the engine and right before the firewall. Seeing the VIN directly from the engine bay might pose difficulties depending on the engine setup. If the VIN stamp proves challenging to read from the engine bay, consider turning the wheel completely to the right and capturing a picture of the VIN from the rear wheel well.

1977 Bronco VIN Plate Location

The full VIN plate is inside the face of the glove compartment door. It includes codes containing your '77 Bronco's production information. The top line of the data plate displays the following code categories: color, type, body, transmission, axle, and DSO.

The Ranger package for the 1977 Bronco was similar to the previous model year. The interior trim colors of Ginger and Avocado were renamed to Tan and Jade, respectively. The rear seat was required for the Ranger trim.

A Special Decor Group was available on the Bronco (base) and Sport trims. It included a black grille, body-color roof, and a stripe across the hood and upper body sides.
