Sport Trim Package
Ford Bronco, outdoing Barbie’s Jeep since 1966! For men who prefer American V-8 power and Ford’s proven track record of tough trucks. This classic Bronco has all the vintage features that take you back in time and the necessary performance upgrades to improve drivability on modern roadways.
Her body is 95% unmolested American steel, this vehicle has never been in an accident and had only very minor rust repair. The driver’s side floor pan and both inner fenders have been replaced, work was done professionally by a reputable body shop. Uncut, original rear fenders give us peek at classic chrome wheels on 33” BFG’s. This truck shows great with very minor rock chips and NO RUST anywhere. She spent her whole life in the stable when not adventuring and it shows!
This Bronco sits on a 4.5” Wild Horses Lift Kit that includes progressive front coils, HD rear leaf springs and Rancho shocks. The front axle was aligned with 3* C-Bushings and the rear leaves shimmed the same. A drop pitman arm, drop track bar bracket was installed to right the steering geometry. All new silicone bushings were installed, along with HD U-Bolts and hardware. No bump steer, death wobble or unruly road manners here, this steed stay the course.
Whoa, stop right there! Bringing this 1972 to a smooth stop from 80mph is done with ease. Brakes have been upgraded to disk up front and rebuilt factory (Large 11”) drums in the rear. Up front, this horse is outfitted with a DANA 44 axle and out back is bullet proof Large Bearing Ford 9” geared at 3.50:1, allowing for highway speeds without trying to throw rod!
The transmission is RAT-3 speed, which is the more desirable of the 2 manual options. Power is split between the axles by a T-shift DANA 20 transfer case. If you have never driven a “3 on the tree” column shift 3 speed, please set your purse down and make ready for a driving experience. Between arm strong steering and grabbing gears with the ol’ hand-shaker, this rig will certainly detour any millennial hipsters from a joy ride.
You will not find another one like this! The engine had just over 30k miles on the original motor when it was freshened up with new piston rings, bearings, seals and gaskets all around. A new timing set and water pump were installed for good measure. To let her breath, a 4-Barrel Edelbrock carburetor was installed with a matching intake manifold. Custom dual exhaust was routed to the rear complete with chrome tips, to add a little growl when she exhales. All services have been performed routinely and any repairs addressed immediately. Only quality parts have been used on this stallion,
