It should come as no surprise that classic sport utility vehicles have taken the classic car world by storm, becoming one of the most popular classes of collector vehicle. Offering practicality and infinite modification potential, the Ford Bronco is one of the vehicles leading the charge. This 1973 Ford Bronco has been comprehensively customized, with nearly every system being upgraded with high-quality parts, making for a truly one of a kind truck.
Starting life as a largely standard open-top 1973 Bronco, the truck received a complete repaint in a stunning deep candy blue. Before the paint, a set of bolt-on overfenders were installed to cover the planned larger tires, and a fiberglass hood was also fitted. The truck then received a sizable lift using high quality springs and Bilstein independent reservoir shocks, and sits on a set of 18-inch Fuel wheels wrapped in 38-inchToyo Open Country A/T tires. To make ingress and egress easier, a set of side steps have been fitted, and powdercoated front and rear bumpers really tie the rugged off-road look together.
Inside the cabin, four Corbeau bucket seats have been installed to keep you planted when going off road. In keeping with the Bronco's basic ethos, the floor has been covered in bedliner, making it easy to wash or sweep out when it gets filled with dirt and mud. A billet steering wheel sits in front of the driver, framing a speedometer set in a beautiful metal housing. Between the driver and passenger sits a unique control system for the 3-speed automatic gearbox - a set of "Lightning Rods" which are most commonly seen in drag racing. Although these can be operated like a standard automatic, the 3 additional levers allow you to shift quickly between gears, or lock the transmission in a single speed - which could be beneficial in off road situation.
Under the hood sits a Ford Windsor small block V8 that offers great performance and a killer sound. Sitting on top of the engine is an Edelbrock Performer carburetor affixed to an aluminum dual-plane intake manifold. MSD Pro-Billet distributor ensures the car gets good quality spark, and a high-quality serpentine belt system ensures the car's ancillary systems are all working properly. Power is sent through a 3-speed automatic to all four wheels via a shiftable transfer case, with dual control levers situated in front of the center console.
The best thing about vintage SUV ownership is, it's a comfortable way to enjoy the classic car hobby with your whole family. This summer, take the top off, enjoy the punchy V8 and make use of the high quality upgraded suspension doing some off-roading, or just cruising around town - however you decide to use this Bronco, it will put a smile on your face every time you take it out.
