AI caption · Photo 3 of 4

This document is a simple visual reference schematic showing four front-end (grille) face styles, each depicted as a line drawing with a year range label beneath it. The four illustrated styles are labeled 78-79, 80-86, 87-91, and 92-96. The 78-79 face shows a rectangular grille with vertical divisions flanked by angled headlight surrounds. The 80-86 face shows a wider rectangular design with horizontal grille bars and square elements at each side. The 87-91 face shows a grille with a segmented center section and headlights integrated into a horizontal band. The 92-96 face shows a rounded/aero-style front with a curved grille insert. Uploaded to a 1978 Ford Bronco gallery alongside a related file ('quad grills dates p n g.jpg'), this chart lets a reader quickly identify which body-style generation a truck's front face belongs to based on grille shape, spanning model years 1978 through 1996. No part numbers, text legends, or additional specifications appear in the image — only the four drawings and their year-range labels.
