http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Bronco If you get one, don't fart around with the 302. Go 351 or bigger. Other than that, plan on buying a lot of seals and gas. |

Broncos are awesome especially the full size. Its too bad they dont fit down any trails within a few hundred km of here. Even the bronco IIs are pretty sweet, but the 70s ones with the removable top is the way I'd go. Its the best part of a TJ and a XJ were morphed together to make one truck. Too bad they're valued so high or I'd buy one over the XJ. |
they went from 66-77 with the smaller style then 78 &79 they made them fullsize, then in 80 they changed bodystyle again and kept that style from 80-86 (i think) and then changed a couple things for 87-90, and then changed a couple more things from 91-96 when they stopped making them. I had an 89 and I loved it, except for the transmission. it had the stupid mazda 5 spd in it and it had nothing but problems with the tranny. other then that I loved it.

my friend has 2 early broncos.
this one is a 74 with a fuel injected 302 https://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y9...0428091803.jpg and this one was a 66 half cab originally http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94...xp87/rock3.jpg |
This was my 89. It was a beast on the beach but it was too damn clean for me to put it in any mud.
I had an 86 but it had a 302 and was a total POS. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...y/P2280008.jpg |
78s are my favorite
|
Broncos are awesome, wish I still had my 86 was probably one of the best 4wds I've had yet. It was a 302EFI, 4sp (gotta love a "Granny Gear"), D44 TTB, 9", and factory 4.10 gearing.
http://i543.photobucket.com/albums/g...oncoon35s2.jpg Those are 35x12.50 Mud Rovers on 15x10s with no lift at all, only slight rubbing, nothing serious enough to even scratch the tire. |
have you looked at the chevy k5 blazer? they can normally be picked up cheap with a 350.. theres one for sale here 1800 with 8 inch lift, and 40's... http://inlinethumb60.webshots.com/42...500x500Q85.jpg the whole top comes off too.. i've got one sittin in the driveway http://image.off-roadweb.com/f/18957...5_blazer_2.jpg that ones not mine.. but its a good example

Love Broncos,,,we have 83 on 9"s of lift,,,kids love riding around during the summertime with the top off
|
I had a couple also. My first one was an 85 rusty but free. My 83 I still miss, 302, c6, 4" suspension, solid axle conversion(dana44) 4.88, 1" body lift, 37" MTRs, 9" rear locked. I sold it to get my XJ. Only vehicle I made money on, but still regret it.
