The part that is not smeared that you can read, did I reconstruct it correctly?

Not sure...
All that's legible is
U14GLL22970

In that order. I was looking for the body codes 12U and 14U and found this partial.

U14 is Bronco II 4WD.
G is definitely 1986.

I though the second L (first character of the CUN) was high but it depends on how many Fords were made at that assembly plant (1st L = Wayne, MI assembly plant) that year and what the Bronco II started with. I believe all utility vehicle, truck, and van CUNs start with a letter and then have five numbers, whereas cars have six numbers.

Can you make out the engine and the check digit? They are between the U14 and the G, i.e. U14__GLL22970.

Just thought I'd share the method to the madness of GSP numbering system. New cars arrive and are placed on left side of fenced in lot of Motor Pool in no particular order. They are then pulled one by one (again no particular order) and assigned a perm/ unit # which stays with that vehicle for life of said vehicle. It is also decaled (everything except roof/badge #'s) and then put back into fenced this time on right side. Where it sits until time it is assigned to its new officer. At that time it is once again pulled and equipment installed ( usually from officers old unit), roof/badge #'s are applied & tags are put on and off she goes into service. So that is why unit #'s correspond in no way with VIN#'s.

That's a nice visual, Bobby. I'm sure most agencies follow a similar "madness" to their numbering as well.

Thanks Bobby.

I talked with the eBay seller for my warranty card. I did buy it from him. He said he picked it up at a swap meet in Phoenix about 7 years ago. He thought it was great that it was making it back to the car.
