I took Supercabs spare tire cover and did a little photoshopping.
Your door decal is very close to original. So, if it's an aftermarket thingy, they did a really good job. Ford is pretty sticky about licensing.

It's the same bucking Bronco, I don't think anyone was questioning that. The angle is all wrong though, closer to the Mustang's emblem angle, and I don't think Ford would have done that. Maybe a dealer custom add on graphics, but I feel like third party is more likely.

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
i have had solid white with a tiny down the body line pinstripe gold or maybe brown? with a gag blue interior and a solid black no stripe on the black truck at all....or maybe it was a tiny black pinstripe.....it was trade fodder...but all original..

I'm digging it no matter who did it!

Oh sure I totally agree it's an aftermarket. I just think it was a good aftermarket.

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
Since you posted a pic of the front steering/suspension I figured I’d bring up a fun fact.
It’s commonly known that the 2wd BII can be easily swapped to a 4wd. Most people don’t know that the 2wd steering knuckles aren’t the same as a 2wd Rangers. The ties rods go in from the top on a BII and from the bottom in a 2wd Ranger.
Ranger: (see above post for BII.)

I think that is for the neutral position switch on the transmission. Newer transmissions don't have them. They rely on the clutch being pressed to start.
