Nice video Juan. Thanks for posting. Just a fyi, back in the 60's & 70's we called those little hinged windows Windwings. Great for a little fresh air and for smokers, a place they would hold their cigarette nexr to to let the smoke go out.
Thanks Terry! I really enjoyed making this video. Brought back so many memories of many vehicles I rode in as a child, particularly my dad’s 1971 F100, in which I learned how to drive; a four speed manual (floor mounted)… and yes, those windows, most times it was all you got in those years with so many cars without AC. Thanks for watching
Agree! As much as I like to preserve an original, a floor shift is just better AND I’d definitely upgrade the brakes to power with rotors up front. These are very hard to get used to. I just wouldn’t feel comfortable driving this thing on bumper to bumper traffic in California. Thank you for watching my video Nic
@@JuanCarlosLTO do you know if that bronco has the Dana 44 front axle? That’s an easy swap if that front axle is in there. All you need is everything from the knuckles out, I’ve got a 1970 bronco that fixing up and I’ve got the front axle already rebuilt with disc brakes waiting to be installed
It did. BTW, Dave, the owner sold it shortly after the video was made. Originally he bought 2 of them back in like 2015 and planned to keep one and sell the other one but plans changed and he just didn’t have room to store them and ended up selling both. He said he made good money on this one but it was a lot of legwork. (I’m sure he’ll regret it later 🤣)
1968 was the first year for the 302 and it ran until 2001. Todays engine is not even close to the old one. Same displacement is all they share. Good looking truck.
Sorry for the misinformation. I should have done more research. 🤷🏻♂️🤣. The owner actually bought 3 with intends to restore them, keep one and sell 2 and at the end it was such a headache for him that he ended up selling all of them. He said he made “some” money but not as much as he hoped specially for all the legwork.
It’s crazy how these have taken off in value! I’m not a big fan of those steering column gear selectors, they’re sloppy and become stuck a lot but it definitely adds to the charm. Thank you for watching my video
Love the short wheel base Great for off-roading I think now that 4 door Vehicle's like the New Bronco Are 4 door for Family use the Bronco was Discontinued in 1996 For the 4 door Expedition As 2 Door Utilities Vehicles Fell out of favor.

Very nice clean bronco, there’s only one thing I would have done with it convert it to the floor shift with the James Duff three speed shifter

Love the 3 on the tree. I would rather have this than a new one, plus it is going up in value

They cut the fender to put bigger tires so it doesn’t rub.
You’re right. I misspoke, the goal is to be able to fit bigger tires but an aesthetic benefit is that it looks more balanced

True! I think a lot of people if not most have no true intention of ever driving the new Bronco off road.
