Todays Bronco du Jour is a lime green 1966 from Arizona.
As some you may know the 1966 model was the first production year for the Bronco and most of the sought-after options were not available yet. Things like a V-8 motor, automatic transmission, Dana 44 front end, power steering, power disc brakes....those were still on the horizon in 1966.
So anyone building a 1966 into an off-road warrior is basically starting from scratch.......mechanically speaking.
This classic Bronco has had the works done to it, for the motor he chose a Mustang 5.0 liter roller motor backing it up with a C-4 automatic transmission.
A late model Dana 44 with disc brakes was swapped in place of the Dana 30 and supplied with 4.10 gears and an ARB air locker.
Out back a 31 spline 9" was installed, also with disc brakes and a locker, only this one is a Detroit.
A 2WD F-150 steering box was installed for the power steering along with the 1-ton Chevy tie rod set-up, mounted to the top of the knuckles for added clearance.
A James Duff 4.5" suspension lift and fender flares provide room for the 37" Toyo Open Country M/T tires.
The owner added some fiberglass 1/2 door inserts and rock sliders/nerf bars and a fiberglass "High County" hood.
Then the rig was painted in the 2013 Mustang "I Gotta Have It Green" (not actually "Zombie" green) and matte black.
The interior features a custom dash, Ididit steering column, custom seats and a dash with just the necessary gauges and switches
