New book on Kar Kraft (Boss Bronco)

If you remember there was much discussion on here, and the Boss 302 site, about if there was ever a Boss powered Bronco built. Now that the new book on Kar Kraft is coming out there is new info. If you know Fords you know Kar Kraft was kind of a "off site" place where they could play with ideas that were not typical "factory assembly line" projects. Think Boss 429, for example. Anyway there is a new book out on Kar Kraft, I don't have my copy yet but am looking forward to reading it. The following was copied from the Boss site and I thought Bronco guys would find it very interesting.

Here it is - from the Boss 302 web site...


"Now that the Kar-Kraft book is available and in the marketplace I can share with you one of the rarest Broncos you will ever lay your eyes on. Yes, you're viewing that correctly, this was/is the Boss Bronco created at Kar-Kraft.

It featured a host of Bill Stroppe modifications along with a 351-S (shelby) transplant and an automatic transmission, mated to 4.56 gears. This is what "Bossing" the Bronco would have looked like had Knudsen given the go-ahead on building the truck for public consumption.

Read more about his Bronco and other amazing Ford iron in, "Kar-Kraft: Race Cars, Prototypes and Muscle Cars of Ford's Specialty Vehicle Activity Program".

Very cool! I'm fascinated with this Bronco, and amazed at how complete it remained.

My copy is arriving on Saturday per an email tonight - looking forward to reading it.

The book is a must-have for Ford enthusiasts. Also, there's a sketch in the book that looks vaguely familiar to a certain missing Parnelli Jones race truck...

A little more info, maybe old but good.

That is a true survivor. I bet that Wes guy flipped it big

Does it really have Stroppe Power Steering?

Edit: I posted my question on YouTube since it looks like Colin is replying to questions there...

No, it has a 73-77 EB power steering box on it.
