1975 Ford Ranchero Door Jamb Data Plate - VIN, GVWR & Body/Trim Codes

This document is a photograph of the Ford Motor Company vehicle certification / data plate (door jamb sticker) uploaded for a 1975 Ford Ranchero. The label states the vehicle was manufactured by Ford Motor Co. in the U.S.A. with a build date of 12/74 (December 1974). It lists the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) as 6014 lbs, with Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of 3148 lbs front and 3053 lbs rear, along with the code F0056/R0051 (likely front/rear tire-wheel or spring codes). The standard federal compliance statement confirms the vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in effect on the date of manufacture. The lower table gives the Vehicle Identification Number 5A48A127526 and vehicle type TRUCK, plus the option codes: Body 97R, Color 1C, Trim EA, Transmission U, Axle K, and DSO (District Sales Office) 17. This plate is the primary factory record for decoding the vehicle's original body style, paint color, interior trim, drivetrain codes, and weight ratings, and confirms a 1975 model year build (VIN begins with 5).
