Really, I can see me picking up just about any year Bronco, except maybe 1980. Supposedly the front suspension was kind of in transition from the live axle/coils in '78-'79 to the TTB in 1981 and later. I guess...

The TTB and all the extra emissions crap on the motor was a pain but I am a solid axle and carburetor kind of guy. Should have spent the money to build on 66-77. I would probably still have it.

Not Hardly - That pic was taken when I put it up for sale. All cleaned up so I could try and recoup some of the money I wasted on it.

I'd like one of the early ones too, but I need to finish the one I have before I add a second project. Those who believe there is safety in numbers never heard of Auschwitz- Me

The early Broncos look great, but the short wheel base can get away from you quickly. I now drive a 1992 Bronco when hunting. More stable, more comfortable, climbs and descends better than my 70. The only thing missing is a solid front axle.

The only thing missing is a solid front axle. I have a Bronco II which is about the same wheelbase and width. That thing really gets squirrely in a cross wind. It's not too good on ice, either. It's too short and narrow for good handling. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
