AI caption May 2007 · Photo 516 of 3066

This is a photograph of the factory certification / data specification plate (safety compliance sticker) affixed to the driver's door jamb of a Ford vehicle, uploaded to document a 1978 Ford Bronco. The label header reads 'MFD. BY FORD MOTOR CO. IN U.S.A.' and shows a manufacture date that appears to be 01/78 (January 1978). The label lists the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and front and rear Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) in pounds and kilograms — the front GAWR appears to read 2990 LB / 1356 KG — along with tire, rim, and inflation pressure specifications that are too blurred to read. The standard federal compliance statement ('This vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in effect on the date of manufacture shown above') is present. A partial Vehicle Identification Number beginning with 'U15' (the Ford full-size Bronco 4x4 body code) is visible, and the vehicle type is marked 'MPV' (multi-purpose vehicle). A bottom row of option/build codes (paint, trim, transmission, axle, DSO) is present but illegible due to photo blur. The photo is severely out of focus, so most numeric values cannot be confirmed.
