The original Bronco was an off-road vehicle intended to compete primarily with Jeep CJ models and the International Harvester Scout. The 1966 Bronco was Ford's first compact SUV and had a frame, suspension and body that were not shared with any other vehicle. The axles and brakes were from the Ford F-100 four wheel drive pickup truck, the rear suspension was leaf springs and a shift-on the-fly Dana transfer case and locking hubs were standard with heavy-duty suspension as an option. Styling was designed for simplicity and economy, so all glass was flat, bumpers were straight C-sections, the frame was a simple box-section ladder, and the basic left and right door skins were identical except for mounting holes. Early Broncos were offered in wagon, pickup and a less popular roadster configuration. The Sport Package of 1968 boasted a lot of chrome (called 'Bright' by Ford).
The base price of a Ford Bronco was US$2,194, with a long option list that included front bucket seats, a rear bench seat, a tachometer, and a CB radio, as well as functional items such as a tow bar, an auxiliary gas tank, a power take-off, a snowplow, a winch, and a posthole digger. Aftermarket accessories included campers, overdrive units, and the usual array of wheels, tires, chassis, and engine parts for increased performance.
This is one very well maintained custom 1968 Ford Bronco 4WD Pick Up 1/2 Cab with a very desirable 347 stroked Ford Racing engine, the automatic transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the temperature always remains cool!
