Been in the market for a good cost efficient entry level rig that can handle the rocks, trails , etc with minor, if not any, upgrades to start with. Wondering what you guys think of the full size 78-79 Bronco's for use on trails, off roading and the cost of parts , etc??
The 78 - 79 Bronco are not as popular as the earlier 77 and under models but are just as good if not better in my opinion. The np 205 case, dana 44 and 9 inch are great for off roading and a great starting point. Some people say the bodies are too big compared to a early bronco or jeep but I disagree.
As far as the motors are conserned that is still open for discusion but a v8 is still not bad in my opinion and the 351/400 engines seem to run forever.
Also the full size 78-79 Broncos are relatively cheap to upgrade suspension, etc to handle more extreme trails, etc.
What do you guys think???
Thanks.
