Today's Bronco of the Day is a 1968 Pre-Runner Bronco Roadster.
I found this Bronco for sale on Mecum's website, as usual the details are incomplete, so I don't know if this was an original U13 roadster or another model modified into a roadtser.
The body appears to be a fiberglass replacement with pre-runner style fenders and a Buckaroo hood. The original 68 windshield is retained.
The grill uses the early, small blinker lights and '66 taillights are installed out back. The paint color is House of Kolor Cosmos Red
The pre-runner style bumpers are custom made as is the roll cage and spare tire mount
The front end is a Dana 44, but not original to the Bronco, it is a high pinion. It features coil overs and a 3-link suspension with Fox shocks.
The rear suspension is similar with a 9" suspended by a 4-link system.
Tires are 37 x 12.5 BFG Mud Terrains
It appears that a late 70's F-150 or Bronco was stripped of its motor and parts to build this Bronco.
The steering box is the full-size Bronco/F-150 4x4x2 box (more evidence of a late 70's Ford being used for this build)
The engine is listed as a 408ci, which it appears is a 351 Cleveland/Modified based block. This could be a 400 ci motor from the same family that has been bored out and reworked (common in '78-'79 Broncos and F-150s). Attached to the motor is a C-6 trans and NP205 transfer case with JP twin stick shifters.
The interior features custom bucket seats, autometer gauges, Lokar transmission shifter and a full roll cage
