it has the explorer badges on the bed. however, it is a base-model truck w/ a six-stick, no PS, PB, AC, or anything else. there is no excess chrome. i'm guessing no.

Your truck has been de-chromed. The Ranger and Explorer packages were similar. My 69 Ranger does not have A/C, but it has P/S because it's also a Camper Special.

after my last post, i did the research. it seems that my truck is an explorer. it is a mid-year tuck w/ the proper color. the thing that confuses me is that besides the color code ("X" for goldenrod, which it is) and the explorer badges on the bed, there is not another option on this truck that is conducive to the explorer package.

the only thing i can figure is that maybe ALL trucks made mid-year were explorers. IDK. maybe one of you guys can help me out here.
