Reluctantly sold!!!! Gone but not forgotten!!!This 4 x 4 truck has a 5.0 liter (302 ci.) V8 2 bbl engine (rebuilt 1975 Mustang engine), 3 speed manual on the floor, power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes with the 11" x 2.25" rear drums, dual gas tanks. Most of the parts came from James Duff Bronco, K Bar S in Las Vegas, or Jeff's Bronco Graveyard. Painted American Motors 1976 Tan paint color with roll bar and bikini top. Full white Bestop in fair condition. Runs strong very fast, turns on a dime and handles like a sports car. We built this Bronco to be solid and to upgrade all the usual issues these models have. Four wheel drive works great, fun to drive! All of the body parts are original to this truck and, except for the fiberglass hood scoop, all are steel (the hood is not cut). Easily a daily driver.
The truck has:
302 V-8 engine with 20,000 miles on rebuild; bored .030 over, ported and polished; Isky mild hydraulic flat tappet RV cam; Motorcraft 2 bbl. carburetor; solid oil pressure, runs great with a smooth power band- very powerful and fast!
