Otherwise know as BroncoBuzz!
The Ford Bronco was produced by The Ford Motor Compnay from 1966 through 1996. It had five generations. Ours is a 1978 full size truck. This redesign was based on the F-150. Ford started the redesign in 1972, codenamed Project Short-Horn, but introduction was delayed by concerns over the mid-1970s fuel crisis.
My husband aquired his Bronco from my cousin for $400. It was a mess when he got it. So far he has replaced the brakes, exhast system, cooling system, shocks, electrical and the side body panels. He really enjoys working on this project.

Hey my husband is a Bronco fanatic and has a '71 Bronco he won't even let you put your hand on the paint. It's pretty cool, but definately a guy thing! Another site you might think about adding to the lens is http://www.wildhorses4x4.com That is where he buys all of his parts. Posted August 01, 2007 |
