Bronco of the Day: K Bar S Dust Devil

 

Another K Bar S rig, if you don't know who K Bar S is, follow this link here.

The rigs built by K Bar S almost always had a few items that helped identify them. Besides the K Bar S suspension, there are the 1/2 doors (K Bar S was located in Las Vegas), the Beard seats, Le Carra steering wheel and Smitty Built roll cage (they were dealers for all three of these companies), the one thing that really made them stand out was the lettering on the fenders.

This one was nicknamed "Dust Devil", a 1966 Bronco that was built up the K Bar S way. Before being sold, it was taken to Beach City Broncos in El Cajon for a freshening up.

We'll start with the outside; the white paint appears to be Ford Wimbledon White.

The hood is a James Duff fiberglass unit with the Duff Bubble and the four bar vents, this is another K Bar S signature item, but not all their Broncos had this hood.

The front bumper I believe is a K Bar S original, I have seen them on several of the K Bar S Broncos and no where else.

Inside we can see the Beard seats, Smitty Built cage and the Bosch electric wiper motors that replaced the original vacuum units. 

In this picture you can see the Hurst shifters, four speed and the T-case shifter has been replaced with a Hurst handle (just like what James Duff sells)

The suspension is of course from K Bar S

This build was a frame-off ordeal

The Dust Devil still has a 200 ci six cylinder, it does have some performance upgrades in the Clifford racing cylinder hear, carb and split header that flows into dual exhaust.

There were supposedly two of these Dust Devils built, but this is the only one I have seen.
