Bronco?

[ham4864]

yup. and 96 had ob2 iirc. Keep in mind they aren't super powerful. Fine for daily cruisers though. Don't have any problems on the highway either.With a good driving attitude you can get 16-17mpg around town in them. Unsure of highway mpg, haven't spent enough time in a 300-6 truck to run one out on the highway. I know my dads 94 f150 with a 300-6 made it to Dallas on a tank from Duncan with a pair of jet ski's behind it, probably 20ish.

did they come 4x4

Broncos were only 4X4.

The question above was referring to ford ranger.

I didn't mention a ranger lol. I would stay away from Rangers honestly. Too small. Bronco II's are based on the same chassis also. The fullsize Bronco is based on an F150 chassis. And yes, you could get a 300-6, auto, and 4x4 in any body stile fullsize Ford truck that was a 1/2 ton, being an F-150 or a Bronco.

I like the looks of the older body.

I had a straight 6, 300. Had a lot of torque. Longer rods i guess.

I prefer a 351w, manual slush box. And, probably the best axle ever built, the dominate ford 9''

They are out there. Can look good. Room for multiple alts, and room for gear.

Fuck yeah,.. if i did it over, i just might do this very build.

4- 18's on a fuck ton of power. .... Yup....

I think I can help you here. I am a Bronco owner/enthusiast.

The early broncos were made from 1966-1977. They are beautiful trucks, and are getting harder and harder to find in good condition. You're looking at roughly $5000+ for a decent one.

The first year of the fullsize bronco was 1978. Ford decided to adopt the drivetrain and chassis from an f150 and put a bronco body on top. Ford offered the first body style from 1978-1979.. making these the rarest, and some of the most desirable, fullsize broncos out there. Most of them came with either a 351m or 400 v8 engine. These motors are bulletproof and are known to run for hundreds of thousands of miles. Transmission options were either c6 auto or 435/t18 4 speed. 4x4 came with either a full time np203 case or a selectable 205. All came with the ford 9" rear end and Dana 44 high pinion front axle. Here is a picture of my 79

In 1980, Ford changed their front suspension to a TTB (twin traction beam) setup from a solid axle. They claimed the change was due to ride comfort, but it greatly sacrificed off road capability. For this reason alone, many late model bronco owners choose to swap in a front axle from a 78/79 model F150/Bronco. The ttb system was a modified dana 44 that essentially has a semi-independent front system combined with an inverted y type steering. Ford also began to offer a straight 6 motor (300 I-6) and cut the 400 from the line. The 300 was mated to a different 4 speed, and the rest of the transmissions were still offered. Ford kept most everything else the same until 1986.

Another body redesign came in 86. These are some of the least desireable broncos. Most do not like the look of them, they have the TTB setup, a less desireable ford 8.8 rear axle, and a very primitive form of fuel injection. Ford offered these until 1991.

1992-96 Broncos are the last year of the bronco. Most like them because of their modern conveniences, like a decent fuel injection system, a plush interior, airbags, and the fact that they are only 20 years old instead of 30+.

Any other questions, just ask
