Bronco Names

 

The name Crazy Horse has been used on several famous Broncos.


perhaps the oldest is this one?





This Bronco roadster built by K-Bar-S and owned by Hal Sealund was also named Crazy Horse.



as is this '66 U14 half cab, built by Stacy David for the show Trucks!




Another one


Before it was Big Oly, the 2WD Bronco was given the name "Crazy Colt"


The predecessor to the Big Oly/Crazy Colt was "Pony"


K Bar S would name almost all their builds, this one was called "Little Foot", I am guessing this is a reference to the Monster Truck Bigfoot who shares the same shade of blue.




They called this one the Dust Devil



A K Bar S tribute, nicknamed the "Rattler"





Kurt Streker of Viva Broncos named his Bronco "Hot Ginger" after his wife Ginger and the paint color offered by Ford. I guess he liked the name better than the color as the Bronco was always blue


This race rig was given the moniker el Bronco Loco Rapido!....the crazy fast Bronco
