1969 Ford Bronco
This 1969 Ford Bronco custom 4x4 was just sold and remains in Southern California.
Tons of photos inside, outside and underneath in Gallery shot on 9/9/09 as it sits currently, looks better than it did when it won a trophy.
Complete custom suspension fabrication was completed by West Coast Broncos in Yucca Valley, CA. This early Bronco is finished in PPG two stage Viper red paint, which tends to look a little on the orange side in photographs, but is really a brilliant red in person.
This Bronco has seen very light use and is in excellent condition ready for the road and trails.
This bronco has a rock proof power steering box from West Coast Broncos, who also installed power front disc brakes.
The engine is a new 302 short block from Ford performance catalog with roller rockers, roller lifters and cam along with Edelbrock aluminum heads with valve guides and screw in studs. Edelbrock Performer manifold and Polished 600cfm carb top it off. A Wild Horses 4-core radiator with tranny cooling has been installed.
Transmission is a Ford C4 with a performance rebuild and a B&M cooling trans pan. The shifter is a QuickSilver model from B&M.
The Bronco's front suspension consists of 5.5 inch rock crawler coils from Wild Horses, custom shock hoops connected across engine for lateral rigidity, entended radius arms with large ball joint ends for easy articulation movement and 2.5 inch Sway-a-Way reservoir shocks with 14 inches of travel. All suspension custom built by West Coast Broncos.
The rear suspension consists of an inboard mounted shock bar between the frame rails with Rancho 9000's for more articulation over stock.

The front grille is the original metal unit. The fenders and grille are supported by a custom frame assembly and fender liners have been removed.
The Tires are 33x12.5 BFG Mud Terrains on 15x10 Bart Racing Super Trucker wheels. Smaller tires were kept for the thought of more articulation room, but 35's will fit with tons of room.
