Hey guys, I have located this for my 1988 Ford Bronco II when I planned on doing a stock restoration on the vehicle, but changed my mind after finding out how rare this set was. It has basically just been sitting in my home to prevent rust or aging of any kind, and I consider it to be a rare piece of automotive history. The man I purchased this set from told me that it was in an old Ford dealership which had been abandoned until he purchased the building. They attach to the vehicle with what appears to be a 3-M style double sided tape, and the tape is still very sticky. I did peel a corner back to make sure the adhesive was still good. They are stainless steel with the words "Bronco II" etched into the surface in an Italic style bold font. On each part, the stainless side is covered with the off-white protective coating as you can see in the pictures. Each individual piece also has a small sticker which labels where it is intended to be placed, such as "Driv R Fend," which would be drivers side rear fender. This set has an instruction sheet enclosed from FORD, and it shows where the molding set attaches to the lower part of the vehicle body, with printed instructions. There is also an enclosed small pink paper which has a short statement of how to care for the stainless steel.
Has anyone else on here ever seen or heard of this stainless steel Bronco II molding set before? I am unable to find any history on it, let alone another person who has it or even heard of it, other than the man I got it from and one other guy who used to work at a Ford dealership in the parts dept.
