It was the '78-'79 Bronco's that caused me to want a Bronc of my own so bad... and yours is one of the best I've seen outside a Ford showroom. Congrats on the ROTW win. Well-deserved...

Wow, I'm honored guys. A little background on the Bronco, it came out of Ca about 4 years ago. When I got it I had started right in on the restoration. 3 1/2 years later I was finally done. I rebuilt the motor and trans, stripped the interior and had the original bucket seats redone. I then proceeded to find every available option that came on the Bronco when new. I also fabricated a hard top to work with my soft top.

Again many thanks.

Sorry but I have never checked it out untill today.
Nice Bronco! I got a 95 Bronco. I have also had a couple of Rangers and a Superduty.
How can I become Ride of the Week?
