Legacy Bronco Owners Thread...

[Bronccat]

I apologize if this has been posted prior, but I searched the forum several times and couldn't find anything.

I'm sure I probably know some of you here from classicbroncos.com (UN Bronncar - typo that stuck lmao)

I've had several EBs (Early Broncos, 66-77) and currently have an unfinished 77 (profile pic and below) and recently rehabbed and sold a 95 (pics below).

I grew up in my dad's 75 Bronco scouting rough land in KY and was devastated when he traded it for a work truck.

Love to hear from any of you who have pr had some old ones in the stable (I know its a cliche, but it works).

(O===O)

That second pic

I actually had a deputy pull up beside me and say "hey man, you want an OJ Photo OP?"

Turns out same hometown albeit 20 years apart.

Learned to drive on a 69 half cab and over the years had a75,76 and 78 and now 23. Question for you,the rear quarter panel on your 77?? project build did you replace that?

Currently restoring our ‘75. We took it down to the bare frame and are working our way back up, with a few upgrades along the way. I can’t wait to finally get my 2dr Wildtrak but the originals will forever be my favorite.

Use to have a 79 about 20 years ago... still kicking myself for ever letting that one go.

 

[351W-Bronco]

'69 Bronco (with '77 body).

I'd post a pic, but I keep getting a message that the photo is too large.

To be honest, it's a 67 body on a 77 chassis (hence one fuel inlet)...and I think PO had replaced the rear quarters and more. Body is fine for what it is (no rust, but not oem), but the chassis is my pride.

73 302 block with 91 mustang efi intake, 93 cobra booster, taurus 3g Alternator, c4, atlas txfr, art Carr shifter, 4.56 gears, 31 spline rear, nodular 3rd member, big bearing 9 rear, 4 wheel disc brakes, Trac lock front and rear (I think, I've forgotten tbh), chromoly front shafts on D44.

I did all this from a bare frame on saw horses 12/1/16 to 4/17/17.

4/16/17, Dad was diagnosed ALZ, I knew I was getting a divorce, so I quit.

Haven't touched it since.

I assume 3 on tree 6 cyl? Wish I had ever driven one like that.

Pretty good list man. I know a 23 and an EB are night and day, but something about looking over the top of those fenders that feels right.

73 that's in my avatar. It's been towed all over the country on wheeling trips with my family and friends. It has been a loyal and trustworthy steed that has never let me down.

It's currently down for R&R...retired from serious trail duty and I'm in the process of making it more street able. It was a full HT originally - sold the top years ago. I'm playing with maybe making it a half cab - not sure yet...

I love my 23 WT, but EBs will always be my first love - I've owned two 73s, 76, two 77s, 78, and 86 Broncos.

 

[70&22bronco]

This is mine! ‘70 that my husband and I did a full frame off restoration on. He has a ‘68 Fastback, but the Bronco was my dream vehicle ..so he made it happen. We have a ‘79 in rough shape that needs to be restored, as well.

Gotcha, that makes sense. I don't miss much and I got an eye for the EB's. The 77 is the creme de la creme of the EB's for the fuel door lids and can be spotted from a distance .

That's a nice build you have going but looks like Life events in 17 threw a wrench in all that, sorry to hear that Hope you get this build completed.

 

[Broncotrax]

'69 with Dana 44 , disc brake, power steering conversions. Aluminum radiator, NP 435 trans, twin stick transfer case, Flaming River steering column, Maxxis Razr M/T's.

 

[tractorcrusher]

My first Bronco, right after high school (early 2000s). 96 5.8L. I also had a 94 5.0L but that thing was a turd, shouldn't have bought it. Overheated four times on the drive home.

 

[EBG]

'71, powdercoated frame, Dana 60 rear, Dana 44 front, 8 lug outers, 12" discs all around, PS, PB, 351W, ZF, all new all steel body from Rust Belt Broncos...

and a few custom touches to the interior. You may recognize the dash vents and center console. Seats are Mercedes power heated leather.
