Vin number warranty plate decode information

[ranchoconnect]

A picture of my 1974 Bronco Vin Plate is attached and I’m trying to decode the warranty tag for info. Looked a lot of places online but no help.
Would like to know where built, date built, original paint color and anything else that can be decoded from the vin# or plate. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

1966 - 1977 Bronco Vehicle Identification

The VIN plate can be located on the inside face of the glove compartment door. Also, a second location were the VIN can be found is on the vehicle frame. It is stamped on the top, right hand frame rail and the approximate location is just slightly forward of the body mount bold that can be located on the passenger side foot well. Be advised the VIN is usually very lightly stamped and with the years of grime and corrosion buildup, you may have to use a wire brush and a mirror to read the VIN. I have also seen a white tag inside the drivers door well on 1974 models that had VIN number info displayed.

The VIN consists of a 11 alpha-numerical sequence that can be broken down into 4 separate categories, Series Identification, Engine Codes, Assembly Plant and Production Sequence


We will use this example of Vehicle Identification Number U15SLAE0010

Series Identification (first 3)U15
U13 = U100 Roadster (1966 - 1968)
U14 = U100 Pickup
U15 = U100 Wagon

F = 170 ci 2.8L 6Cyl 1BC Carburetor 1966-72
S = 200 ci 3.3L 6Cyl 1BC Carburetor 1973-74
A = 240 ci 3.9L 6Cyl 1BC Carburetor 1968
N = 289 ci 4.7L V8 2BC Carburetor 1966-68
G = 302 ci 5.0L V8 2BC Carburetor 1968-77



Assembly Plant (single letter)L
C = Ontario
D = Dallas, TX
E = Mawah
H = Lorain, OH
K = Kansas City
L = Michigan Truck Plant

R = San Jose, CA
S = Allen Park, MI
U = Louisville
V = Kentucky Truck Plant
