Nice price, but you are right - no such thing as Eddie Bauer for our trucks.

Wish it didn't have the a/c vents.  I'd be all over it.

Nice find.  I like the other price better though. Lol

I saw a photo of a truck where the ower had an a/c cluster bezel in a non-ac truck. What he did was install some switches in place of the vents. Thought it was a clever idea.

Numerous possibilities with it -

switches
cubbies
speakers
gauges (numbered) (my favorite)

If you have access to a 3d printer you could probably make it look seamless.

[Gary Lewis]

That would be a neat way to use that space.  Print up a piece to fit into the opening and add raised lettering that looks like stock.

Gary, I’ve never seen Eddie Bauer in a pickup but lots of Broncos have it. The 1986 Bronco that my “good” pair of captain chairs came from was Eddie Bauer’d and had different fabric and little trees across the back of the seat. I just hate it and the fabric is inferior to the XLT Ford stuff... but the seats are in great condition and need recovered in a different color anyway. It had the same goofy stick-on badge in the radio bezel nameplate area and on the fenders below the Bronco badges.

[Gary Lewis]

I'd never seen this before.  Boy, you are right.  Is this something to record in the Year-To-Year differences?

[Ford F834]

Huh. Looks like it’s just 85/86, so yeah, that would be a year to year difference. I don’t really know what the Eddie Bauer edition thing is all about, but since the nameplate has a Ford part number it isn’t just a dealer embellishment or conversion. I guess that makes sense, as I see it often in the later 90’s/00’s explorers, expeditions etc.,

Quick check with Dr. Google found the image in the 1986 brochure. That's a nice looking dash.
