What colors were available in 1974 on a bronco ranger? I was told red interior was available in 1974. I would like to paint my bronco Raven black with a red interior. Could you get this color combo factory in a ranger or explorer?

I think it would look good, but I have my doubts of one ever existing.
If that's not the way your Bronco came, and you are changing it, why do you care about what was available? ;)

I do not think so there was never a red interior color for the rangers. I have only seen blue,brown,and green there were different variation of these colors but no red.There was a red in 74 but it was the explorer look at walker family build here on the form and you will see the original red interior. Black rangers had brown interior.

Rangers all came with houndstooth seat covers which were only available in Blue, Ginger(brown) and Avocado(green) in 74. Tan was an option later but never red.

Black with red would be a killer combination. I bet Bronco Hut could fix you up!

I have seen more than one Black Ranger with Avocado interior which leads me to believe that may have been an option, But I never saw a window sticker or a Marti Report to verify them...

Thanks everyone for the info. I own the 74 ranger now. But a customer wants to buy it and have me restore it with a black exterior with red interior houndstooth. He asked me about factory colors they had. Seat covers will be made by bronco hut and ranger stripe kit from Broncitis

Not sure when I will be starting on the 74. Have a few other projects I need to finish up first. I attached a pic the day I bought it.

Including the ultra rare Special Decor Christmas Flocking treatment even!
Should look great in black.
