Never seen anything like that. Interesting looking though. :cool: Overflow on a 6cyl radiator was just a hose running down the drivers side and it flowed out onto the ground.

I was thinking it looked like an oil reservoir, but while I've seen that type, I've never seen one on a Bronco I don't think.
On a tractor maybe? Could be a PO scavenged it for a custom "oil pressurizer thingy" for cold startups? Or it was for a hydraulic auger option (post hole digger) on the back, or hydraulic snow plow contraption on the front of a Bronco maybe.

The augers were usually at least partially PTO operated, correct? Maybe this was for the other part, and there was a PTO operated hydraulic pump?

Good thing to hunt down. Any chance or more pics blu?

Pretty sure thats what it is. I pulled one off a '68 or so...let me see if I can find the pics. Had the decals and such , and was indeed a Marvel Mystery product

I just can't remember what truck mine came in on or what happened to it. But it had the decals etc. Put in box and gave back to customer I think it was a 68 sport, pretty original.
