That site does have some discrepancies/mistakes however, so don't go by it only. There are several "VIN Experts" hereabouts that can make sure it's all squared away.
Unlike modern vehicles, and unlike even some other brands back when ours were made, our VIN's don't include build/option information. You can basically only tell what model (U15 is the "wagon" with full hard top), what engine came with it, what Ford plant it was built in (all the same Michigan Truck Plant I believe?) and the last letter and number sequence are the only things that can give you the order and approx. build date.
But no interior, gearing, suspension, trans, steering, differential type, delivery location, or other options will be determined by the VIN.
But you have another source of info you should use as well. Contact Marti Auto Works (
www.martiauto.com) and get yourself the Marti Report on your Bronco. You could get the inexpensive basic version sent to you in a few days and have most of the info about your Bronco. Or you could even get the deluxe version as a gift for your husband. It's not inexpensive, but it's pretty cool to have a framed window sticker and build date info on your Bronco hanging on the wall!
It takes several months for that one, but you still get the basic one e-mailed to you in very short order.
Oh, and I almost forgot... We also have this!

The good stuff starts on page 6 or later I think, where are posted the actual color charts for Broncos and trucks for each year. Very cool info!
Good luck!
