My first (well, TECHNICALLY second) early bronco

After much searching, I bought a '73 back in early July that I found out had some VIN issues, so I thankfully got my money back. Long story short, after another month of searching, I found this 1967 on Craigslist in Florida. Trailered it back to Houston in early August and finally got the right wheel/tire combination put on (today!)

Before:

After (same size tires....35-12.50, but 15" wheels instead of those obnoxious 20's):

Next up, new bumpers (with tire carrier) and family cage!

Nice Bronco!! I think it looks much better with the 15's. How much lift do you have?

Honestly, I have no idea. I know it has a 3" body lift, but I'm truly not sure if there's some suspension lift, too. Seems like a ton of clearance for just a 3" body lift.

Thanks for the kind words. Here's a pic of it sans doors:

From a Donk to a Bronc,with the drop of a dime. Money well spent. Too bad Impalas don't have 5x5.5's.....

Good looking Bronco! I like it much better with the 15" wheels! Those 20's need to be on a LTD or a Caprice!!!

Much better. I love that color!
If you still have the 20s I'm sure you can find some dude with an older F150 or a Dodge that would think those look sweet on his ride.

Looks great! Same color as my old 76 I've been looking for in Florida/Alabama area. The new wheels and tires are a huge improvement.

Amazing what a difference a quick change of the wheels/tires can do.

I can appreciate all kinds - its what makes these Broncos so unique!
